Black Bean, Corn & Chicken Salad image

Delicious salad that can be served warm or cold. I serve it with olive oil tortillas and sour cream. I think that I found this recipe in a magazine a few years back. Truly delicious, and very healthy.

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

15 1/2 ounces corn, drained. (1 1/2c)
29 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed. (3c)
1/2 cup green onion, chopped. (1/2c)
1 bell pepper, diced. (1c)
3/4 lb cooked chicken breast, cubed. (3c)
3 tablespoons lime juice (2 limes)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
salt & pepper
olive oil (optional)
tortilla (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare all vegetables.
  • Dice chicken (I usually cook the chicken while I am preparing the vegetables, then I dice it while it's warm).
  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together.
  • Let it sit for a few minutes. (The warmth of the chicken will heat the salad and help the flavors to marry quickly. You can let this sit for about 10 mins or put it in the fridge overnight.).
  • Stir to redistribute the ingredients.
  • Serve with tortillas (avocado & sour cream go well too.).
