Sunny Corn and Black Bean Salad
  1. 1

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 2

    Spread 1 teaspoon butter on each ear of corn; sprinkle with garlic powder. Wrap the ears in aluminum foil.

  3. 3

    Cook on the preheated grill until the corn is hot and steaming, about 15 minutes. Unwrap the corn; grill the ears until the kernels are golden, about 5 minutes more, flipping once. Let cool; cut the kernels from the cobs.

  4. 4

    Combine the corn, black beans, and cilantro in a large bowl; set aside.

  5. 5

    Whisk the oil, vinegar, lime juice, fresh garlic, sugar, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; gently toss into the corn mixture to coat.
