Corn and Black Bean Salad

While I don't watch much football myself, living a stone's throw from Notre Dame stadium is a constant reminder that we're in the thick of football season right now. On home game days it gets loud with the military flyovers, the band, and the cheers from the crowd, all of which I can take in from my patio. And while I haven't had time to host any game day parties this year, I thought for those of you who will be having them, I'd share a fun Corn and Black Bean Salad recipe from Golden Blossom Honey with you this week. It's a perfect accompaniment for burgers, brats, and steaks fresh off the grill.

This is a salad that can be tossed together in under 30 minutes, but I like to make it a day ahead of time so the dressing really marinates into the veggies. This is the kind of salad recipe that's been hot on Tik Tok lately, with a bunch of yummy veggies mixed together without lettuce or heavy dressings. It's so perfect for not only a dinner side dish, but we served it as a stand alone lunch, too. Or, you could even serve it as a party appetizer. Just pop it in a festive bowl next to some tortilla chips. We like to get the scooped chips to really load up the veggies, but I'm sure there won't be any complaints with pairing this with whatever tortilla chips you have on hand. It will be a surefire crowd pleaser for any gathering this season.

1 tablespoon olive oil
