  • In a small bowl whisk together oil, vinegar, Dijon, cumin and garlic until well blended; season with salt and pepper to taste, add in some sugar if you find that the dressing is too strong.
  • In a medium bowl combine the cooled or cold cooked rice, black beans, corn niblets, bell peppers and green onions.
  • Add in enough dressing to moisten; toss to combine (you don't have to use the full amount of dressing).
  • Season once again with salt and pepper (or cayenne pepper).
  • Can be made hours ahead, cover and chill.

  1. Very good! I threw in some cilantro and everyone loved it! Thanks!
     
  2. Nice salad, enhanced I think, with halved cherry tomatoes added just before serving. Thank you!
     
  3. First off, my reading skills were not the greatest. The review that said they liked it hot, I immediately thought it could be a cold salad or a hot rice dish.. Needless to say, it was tried both ways.. To be honest, I like the hot version I mistakenly created..I therefore believe, it could be enjoyed in the summer as a cold salad, or in the winter as a heated rice dish.. Great both ways.. Thanking you Kittencal for the idea... Cat^..^atude...........
     
  4. Kittencal, thanks for a tasty and colourful salad! We like it hot so I chose to include the cayenne, and I excluded the sugar because the peppers seemed to provide enough sweetness for me. I didn't have any canned corn, but just realised I had some frozen and added it as an afterthought. This salad is perfect for brightening up a dull winter day! Great work!
