I really enjoy a nice cool salad on a summer day, and this one hits the spot! It has a tangy red wine vinegar, brown sugar, oil, salt, and pepper dressing that is to die for. I added black beans for an extra nutty flavor, I like color, so that was an added bonus for this salad.

How To Make cool confetti, corn, and bean salad

  • 1
    In a rather resealable bowl, add in drained corn and black beans, and chopped bell peppers and onions.
  • 2
    Stir and toss with a wooden spoon to incorporate all ingredients.
  • 3
    In a smaller Pyrex pouring container, mix up dressing ingredients thoroughly. Pour over salad and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • 4
    The next day, take it out of the refrigerator and toss once more, coating everything with the juices that have probably been settling to the bottom. This is OK, just so it gets coated once again with all the juices.
  • 5
    Serve as a side salad or add shredded chicken or drain chunk tuna if you wanna make it more of a meal.
  • Summer favorite salad
    6
    Serve. I was going to add diced fresh tomatoes to it or grape tomatoes to add a little more red color to the dish. This is a good idea, but I decided against it. It is optional.
