It’s somehow already August, which means my baby will be one year old next month…I’m in denial, but also very excited about planning her first birthday party. I have a theme I’m pretty excited about and browsing ideas on Pinterest is rather addicting!
Today I have a simple side dish that is perfect for your next BBQ, picnic, or party. This Corn and Black Bean salad is also easy to whip up at a moment’s notice! Fresh corn and black beans are mixed with red onion, roasted red peppers, garlic, lime juice, and cumin to make a tasty salad. I think all the flavors complement each other perfectly. Time to get back to Pinterest!
