Recipe Of The Day: Black Bean & Roasted Corn Summer Salad

This recipe is delicious, healthy, simple to make and affordable year round. This is one that can be served up hot or cold and can either be a main dish itself if your looking to go light or will work alongside just about main entree you wish to pair it up with. Usually served up along our classic pink peppercorn crusted steaks this time out we chose to let the salad speak for itself and take center stage.
The crisp texture of the smokey roasted corn mixed with the smoothness of the beans just sets this dish off perfectly.
Enjoy!

4 Ears Corn (Husks Removed)

2 TBS Olive Oil

1 Cup Red Bell Pepper (Diced)
