How To Make mexican corn and bean salad

  • 1
    Drain and rinse corn and beans before placing in a large bowl.
  • 2
    Add pimento, green onion (and jalapeno pepper, if using) mix to combine.
  • 3
    To make dressing: Whisk oil, vinegar, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, sugar, chili powder and salt in a bowl. Add hot sauce to dressing if you want it a little more spiciness. Use as much of this dressing on the salad as desired. I usually start with half of the dressing. Then add more if needed.

    Cover the salad and chill 24 hours mixing once or twice during chilling.
  • 5
    When ready to serve, add tomatoes and stir to combine.
