The cumin and cilantro give this salad a delicious southwest
flavor. It goes great with any grilled meat or sandwiches.
I have to give credit to my sister..it is originally her recipe. :)

Ooh, I shouldn't have clicked on to this...I almost licked the screen-LOL! This would hit the spot, especially on a hot day like to-day! And I missed lunch!
ReplyDeletethis looks good! our youngest son is esp. fond of black beans and salads - this will perfect when he comes home for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh yummy! love things with beans and corn in them. I'll be trying this one!

ReplyDeleteI have a very similar recipe and it's so yummy! I love it as a side dish or as a chip dip.
ReplyDeleteone of my very favorite salads ` so good for you too!
ReplyDeletebetsy it is my bday next week, i just had that poem kid of pop into my head this morning as I was looking out the window.
Looks great, can never have too much cilantro for me!!!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't this be a nice, fresh side with hamburgers?!
ReplyDeleteYummy looking! You make the best food. Your family eats good. How much will it cost for me to have you send me all these great looking dishes? YUM
ReplyDeleteRefreshing salad like this is PERFECT for these hot days! YUM!
ReplyDeleteOh, my. I haven't made this in years. And now I think I must! Mmm.
ReplyDeleteI had to look up what cilantro is in Google ~ it's called "coriander" over here in the UK.
ReplyDeleteMmmm ... your salad looks gorgeous.
This recipe is as made for a bean lover such as me.;)) And it seem to require almost no cooking.;))) This one goes to my recipe book, thank you!;) xo
ReplyDeleteAfter the food in my food success in my home that included both beans AND corn like this, I might have to give this a whirl. Don't drop over out of your chair, Betsy.
ReplyDeleteI had to crack up though...chop in even 1/2" squares...should I measure? Why would you put that in there knowing I'm going to read this? I know, you thought there was no chance I'd ever make it, right?!
Kayren ~ you ARE funny! As you can see by the picture, I didn't cut everything in a perfect 1/2 inch. No, don't you dare get out your ruler! :)
ReplyDeletethis is a wonderful pic!
ReplyDeleteyum...going to pass this one over to T as soon as I get home!
ReplyDeleteJustin ~ we call the plant leaves cilantro and the seed (usually ground into a powdered spice) coriander..which I love, too, but it tastes completely different.
ReplyDeleteLora ~ what a great idea...we have a little leftover...I think I'll serve it as a dip with a little sour cream along side! Yum! thanks!
ReplyDeleteI just love it when you OR your sister post a recipe because they are ALWAYS good! I do love cilantro. Love it!

I never realized ho easy it is to cut fresh corn off the cob. It's so worth it. This looks like a variation of a recipe my mother had for 5 bean salad, a Midwestern recipe. You do not, however, have sugar.
