Ingredients in Honey Lime Corn Salad
- Corn: I prefer to use fresh corn that has been cooked in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Grilled corn would also be delicious!
- Black Beans: Use 1 15.5 oz black rinsed black beans.
- Jalapeno: I remove the seeds; however, if you want prefer some extra heat do not remove.
- Bell Pepper: I like to use orange bell pepper; however, feel free to use red or green.
- Red Onion: The recipe calls for 1 medium-sized red onion.
- Cilantro: I love the addition of cilantro, but it can be left out if preferred.
- Lime: Use the juice of 2 limes.
- Honey: The addition of 2 tablespoons honey adds the perfect sweetness to the salad.
- Spices: The recipe uses a spice blend of chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cumin.
- Salt and Pepper: Used to season.
Cooking the Corn
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in the corn and boil for 3 to 5 minutes or until the corn has softened slightly. You want to make sure that the corn still has a bite to it. Grilled corn would also be delicious in this recipe.
