We had a pool party to go to, and the main dish was going to be barbecue. I had checked ahead of time and those in charge of ordering the food were pretty sure they had only ordered beef, pork and ham. None of which I will eat. So, I decided to bring a salad. I found this black bean and corn salad on the Food Network site.
Black Bean and Corn Salad
from 30 Minute Meals with Rachael Ray, Food Network.
Once again, I forgot to take a photo.
The Verdict
It was good, but not fabulous. I got compliments on it at the party, but I wasn't super happy with the flavors myself. I forgot that I was out of cumin, so I substituted some Mexican oregano I had left over from another recipe. So, the flavor was slightly different that intended in the original recipe. I personally was not a fan of the red onion. I think if I make it again, I will use a sweet onion. I used a mixed yellow and white corn, I think from Bird's Eye that was really good.
This brings me to the last of the recipes I listed in my update at the beginning of August. Of course, I'm still behind because now it's September. So, the recipes I still have to update for you are:
Week of 8/9: Chicken Parmesan
Week of 8/16: Turkey & Cheddar Macaroni
Week of 8/23: I didn't do one, our schedule got all out of whack
Week of 8/30: Cola Cake
