Confetti Corn And Black Bean Medley

Confetti Corn and Black Bean Medley

I often put a lot of time into creating the entrée for our meals, and sometimes end up twiddling my thumbs when it comes to the side dish.   I meticulously plan most of our meals, not all...but, most....And, when it comes to what I'm going to going to serve up along with it, well, it sometimes gets brushed aside. Then panic sets in, and I realize, I'm missing the complementary side dish.

Confetti Corn and Black Beans as a Side Dish or Topping

On this day, I just happened to have fresh corn on hand, which would have been perfectly fine all on it's own, but, I decided to roast it, with diced red and green peppers, and then toss it with black beans, onion and seasonings.  There you have it, a festive side dish in a snap.  See it used in my Layered Southwestern Cornbread Salad here.
