Step by step recipe with photo:





Drain marinade from sweet corn, rinse under cold water. Let the liquid drain.




Rinse the beans in the same way. In canned food, there is sometimes an unpleasant metallic taste, which is easily eliminated by the usual washing with cold water. It is worth considering that a metallic smell indicates a low quality product. This applies not only to beans, but also to corn.

No less tasty.














Combine beans, corn, onion and tomato. Add chopped greens. Salt, pepper. Fill with oil and mix.
For lovers of real Mexican taste, you can add hot capsicum, cut into small rings, to the salad. But keep in mind that you should not get too carried away with such dishes if you have problems with the digestive system.

An interesting Mexican dish from affordable products. Prepares easily and quickly.

Salad Ingredients:

1 can canned red beans
1 can of canned corn
1 small onion
1 red sweet pepper
1 hot green pepper
3 art. tablespoons parsley or cilantro
1 mango (optional)

Filling Ingredients:

4 tbsp. tablespoons of vegetable oil
2 tbsp. tablespoons lemon juice (can be replaced with lime juice or light vinegar)
1/3-1/2 teaspoon hot red ground pepper (chili)
1/3-1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 garlic clove
1/3-1/2 teaspoon salt

About the ingredients:

We always buy beans red and always canned in our own juice. As a last resort, beans in tomato sauce can be used, but they must be rinsed after draining the sauce.
We also take canned corn in our own juice. Usually it is sold in this form, without sauces. But you can also use boiled frozen.
The capacity of cans of beans and corn is 300 - 400 grams.

We use red pepper for beauty, there will be no problems with the search, this color is common for fresh paprika sold in stores.

In the original Mexican recipe, the second type of pepper is jalapeno, but you are unlikely to find one, so we use a pod of green Chinese long pepper, it is medium spicy, just right for our tastes. Well, or, if you can’t stand spicy, chop a green sweet pepper pod.

Onions are better to take red, blue or shallots, but you can also use plain white.

Greens in the original is cilantro, but it is permissible to replace it with parsley.

Putting mango in a salad is not necessary, it will be - add it, no, we can do without it.

We use light, refined vegetable oil, which is - sunflower, olive, corn, etc.

Lemon juice can be replaced with lime juice or weak vinegar - rice, wine, apple.

Hot ground red and black pepper can be omitted or added to a minimum if you do not like spicy. I put in a third of a teaspoon, and the burning was felt only slightly.

Fresh garlic can be replaced with garlic powder or dried garlic chunks.

Any salt, there is sea salt, put it, it will be a little tastier.

Preparing the salad:

We open the jars of corn and beans, drain the liquid from them.

Put the grains in a large bowl. We cut all other vegetables (except greens) into cubes no larger than beans, and also put them in a cup.

We're getting ready to ship. Grind the garlic with a knife or in a garlic press, put it in a small bowl, pour oil, lemon juice, put peppers and salt there.

Stir all this thoroughly with a fork, until almost homogeneous.
