Step 1
Start by tossing together the black beans, corn, green chilies, tomatoes, green onions, shrimp, and cilantro in a big bowl. In a separate small bowl, mix the olive oil, cumin, garlic powder, lime juice, and hot sauce until everything is well combined. Pour this dressing over the salad and give it a good stir so all the flavors come together. For the best taste, pop it in the fridge and let it chill for a couple of hours before serving. This helps the flavors meld and makes the salad even more delicious.
Why you’ll love it
This salad is bright, fresh, and full of vibrant flavors. The combination of sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and hearty black beans creates a satisfying base, while the shrimp adds a nice protein boost. It’s light but filling, making it perfect for warm days or as a healthy meal anytime.
How to serve
Serve this salad chilled or at room temperature for the best taste. It pairs wonderfully with warm tortilla chips, crusty bread, or over a bed of greens. You can also add a squeeze of fresh lime or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro to brighten the flavors even more.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Keep the shrimp separate if possible and add it just before serving to maintain the best texture. Give the salad a gentle stir before eating to redistribute the dressing.
