This Bean and Roasted Corn Salad is SO fantastic!
It fills you up the healthy way, it’s loaded with proteins and it even taste better the day after, so the leftovers from the dinner can easily be turned into your lunch the next day!
No food waste! I love it!
You can make it out of (any kind of) dried beans you soak overnight and boil the day after, or simply just use canned beans if it has to go extra fast. I like to soak the beans myself and boil them so they get cooked exactly the way I like them.
You don’t have to serve the salad warm – in fact I always cook the beans and put them aside until it’s time to BBQ. Then I mix togehter the salad, grill the corn on cobs and add the freshly grilled corn just before serving. And because we just as likely eats the salad cold, its perfect to make ahead for a busy day, a picnic or for a potluck.
For lunch I always fill up the leftovers in small Jars that makes it easy to just grab one in the fridge or to bring with me during the day. We also use the salad when we make homemade burritos loaded with meat, rice, salsa, lettuce and guac!
Uhm.. I’m getting hungry now!! 😋
