    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between black beans and corn salad and salsa?

    There is very little difference between this black beans and corn salad and a fresh black bean salsa. I love to eat this recipe on it's own as a salad side dish or as a dip with gluten free corn tortilla chips.

    How long does this salad last in the fridge?

    This salad will last in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I love to make it the day before I want to serve the salad or as a dip with tortilla chips. Making it the day before ensures it's really cold when you serve it and the flavors have time to meld together.
