For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the corn before adding it to the salad. Simply grill the thawed corn kernels until slightly charred. Feel free to customize this salad with other additions such as diced red onion, bell peppers, avocado, or cilantro. This salad tastes even better after the flavors have had a chance to meld. Prepare it a few hours in advance, or even the day before serving. The Black Bean Salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
