Charred Corn & Bean Salad


I jumped on board the "dense bean salad" meal prep trend and I am a fan. Being back in an office setting, meal prepping has made it easier to eat better meals at work. So far this has been a favorite.

Adapted from Mishka Makes Food

For the salad:
1 16 oz bag frozen corn, thawed and charred with a torch or in a broiler
1 can white beans, rinsed and drained (I used butter beans)
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 to 1 pint cherry tomatoes, diced
3-4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled

For the dressing:
1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons mayo
juice from 2 limes
1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
1/2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
1 garlic clove, minces
salt, to taste
water, if needed to thin the dressing

Combine the dressing ingredients except water. If it's too thick, add a little water.

In a bowl, mix together all the salad ingredients. Add as much dressing as you'd like.

Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
