We make this Black bean salad practically all year long, but we make it much during the summer. That’s because fresh summer corn can’t be beat (،o Corn Ribs) ! Add to that sweet bell peppers, jalapenos, lots of lime and fresh cilantro, and you’ve got yourself a phenomenal dip.

While you can serve this black bean salad recipe as an appetizer with store bought chips or Pita Chips, we love it as a side dish too. Serve it alongside Sheet Pan Fajitas, some Cilantro Lime Rice and you’ve got yourself a delicious meal!

Or have it as a side for our famous Birria TacosLamb Birria or Birria Quesadillas. For a full on party food experience, serve the black bean salad with some Air Fryer Taquitos or Chicken Flautas.

You can also think of it as a good old salad and have it with Ribeye SteakGrilled Trout Chicken LegsGrilled Shrimp and much more!
