Ingredients for 8 portions
1 ½ cups of black beans cooked and drained
1 ½ cups of corn kernels from grilled cobs
1 cup of tomato, seeded and diced
½ cup minced onion
¼ cup of red bell pepper, finely diced
1 ½ cups of cilantro leaves, washed and dried
¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
Coarse sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation
In a bowl combine the beans, corn, tomato, onion, pepper and cilantro.

In a cup, mix the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and mix to emulsify.

Add the vinaigrette to the salad and toss.

Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least half an hour.

Serve cold. This salad is much more flavorful the next day.
