ROASTED MEXICAN CORN SALAD WITH BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Brush corn with vegetable oil.
• Grill corn on the preheated grill until some kernels are lightly charred on all sides, about 12 minutes. Use tongs to turn corn, every 3 to 4 minutes, to expose more kernels to the heat. Remove from grill and allow to cool.
• Cut kernels into a large bowl. Add black beans, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, and red onion.
• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, taco seasoning, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl; mix until well combined. Pour over the salad and toss until well mixed.

GRILLED CORN AND BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: Preheat a grill on high for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium high and grill the corn, with the cover closed and turning occasionally, until some kernels are black, about 12 minutes. Remove and allow the corn to cool slightly.
• Using a sharp knife, cut off the kernels into a very large, deep serving bowl. (Hold the narrow end of the cob, point the other end into the bowl and cut downward, so that flying kernels are trapped by the bowl itself.) Add the black beans, chickpeas, cilantro, green and red bell peppers, onions, chile peppers, salt and pepper to taste to the bowl and toss.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the lime juice, sugar, salt, vinegar, cumin, chili powder, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl. Season to taste with hot sauce.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to thoroughly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, toss again and serve. The salad can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
