Grilled Corn & Black Bean Salad

Colleen: "There are several things about this dish that I enjoyed. First off no cooking required therefore I didn't dirty a single pot! Second it was incredibly delicious especially the avocado on top, charred corn, & cheese hidden inside. Third I don't normally eat radishes and alone I wasn't to crazy about them, but in this salad they were excellent. I will be making this again, maybe during football season as a side dish, it was fun and easy not to mention SUPER cheap." 

Ingredients

  • ears fresh corn, shucked
  • tablespoons EVOO
  • tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • teaspoons chili powder
  • salt
  • 2 15 ounce can  black beans, rinsed and drained
  • bunch  radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  • ounces queso fresco, crumbled
  • avocado, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium. Add the corn and grill until charred in spots, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the EVOO, lime juice, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using a large, sharp knife, carefully cut the corn kernels from the cobs and transfer to the bowl. Add the beans, radishes, scallions and cilantro; toss well. Divide the salad among 4 plates; top with the queso and avocado.
