Ingredients

1 bag 16 oz sweet frozen corn kernels, defrosted*
1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
½ large red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Instructions

Combine corn, black beans, bell pepper and red onion in a large bowl.
1 bag 16 oz sweet frozen corn kernels, defrosted*, 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed, 1 large red bell pepper, chopped, ½ large red onion, finely chopped
Stir in the vinegar, parsley, olive oil, salt and pepper.
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Serve right away or chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Store leftovers in a covered dish in the fridge.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Give it a stir before serving.
Fresh corn: If fresh corn is in season, use it. You will need about 4-5 ears to get enough kernels. You can also grill the corn first for a smokier flavor.
Thaw corn quickly: Place frozen corn in a colander and run cool water over it until thawed, then pat dry before adding to the bowl.
Herb swap: Not a parsley fan? Fresh cilantro works great here for a more Southwest-style flavor.
Add heat: Dice up a fresh jalapeño and toss it in for a little kick.
