Ingredients
- 1 cup diced red onion, from 1 small onion ()
- 2 ears fresh corn (see note if you’d prefer to use frozen or canned)
- 1 (15-oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15-oz) can black eyed peas, drained and rinsed
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, from 1 lime
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons diced jalapeño peppers (from a jar; see note)
Steps
-
Place the onions in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit while you prep the rest of the salad.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the corn for about 3 minutes until tender-crisp, being careful not to overcook. Drain and let cool. Place the corn on a clean dish towel set over a cutting board, then use a serrated knife to cut the kernels off the cobs. (The dish towel dries the corn and catches the kernels as you cut so they don’t roll all over the place.)
-
Drain the red onion and add to a large bowl. Add the corn, black beans, black eye peas, bell pepper, garlic, salt, cumin, paprika, sugar, oil, vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers; mix well to combine. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
-
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
