How’s your day? I am trying to take it easy breezy today and not work or run or do anything that resembles cleaning. It’s nice.
Since I have the half tomorrow I am enjoying some Memorial Day BBQ action today with my fam and keeping it low key.
I have some bad news…
The Slutty Brownies didn’t turn out well because I used TJ’s gluten free brownie mix and it was all spongy and weird. #Fail (It’s supposed to be a layer of cookie dough pressed into a pan, layer of oreos, top with brownie batter and bake.)
But I also have good news…
Sabra sent me a lifetime supply of salsa, and I made a delicious recipe with it!

I called my mom to ask what she wanted me to bring for the Memorial Day BBQ and she said, “a healthy side dish”. Thanks for being specific there mom, super helpful.
Since I am salsa heaven I knew I had to use some of that. Plus, I didn’t want to actually cook so I dreamed up this Confetti Black Bean and Corn salad. I’m happy to say it came out delicious!
Confetti Salad Recipe– with black beans and corn
Ingredients:
- 1 container Sabra Salsa – any flava
- 2 cans black beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 can garbanzo beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 package TJ’s chopped veggies
- 1 package TJ’s frozen roasted corn
- salt and cumin to taste
If you don’t have access to TJ’s Healthy 8 chopped veggie mix you can use 2 cups of your favorite chopped veggies.
Mix. I mixed the corn in frozen and it thawed quickly. Eat immediately or let set overnight and stir before serving.
I ate this as a salad, but you can also scoop it up in a chip. Enjoy!
Question: Salsa – Spicy or Mild?
SPICY!!!!
Looks great, going to try this!
Mild – I’m a total wimp in that area 🙁
I am always on the lookout for simple vegetarian recipes. Confetti Salad looks like a real winner! I would need to sub black beans for another kind, probably kidney. I love the taste of black beans… but they don’t love me. :o)
This may be the other side dish I serve at the BBQ I’m hosting Sat. Thx!!
I made your salad for a neighborhood get-together today & everyone loved it! Of course I pretended like I cut up all the veggies myself. Great idea, super yummy and easy. By the way, I finally got my runaroni, thank you 😛
The salsa looks delicious! I’m a wimp, so I’d want it not-so-spicy!
that salsa dish looks amazing!
Totally into spicy – also, the picture of this salad made me throw everything I had like it into a pan to make some impromptu veggie tacos (mixed veggies, black beans, rotel tomatoes, onions, leftover veggie chili, adding guac, salsa, olives, and cilantro after). We’ll see how this goes! 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration.
YUM!!!!! I love spicy!
That salad looks terrific and very easy. This is the kind of dish I eat for lunch as the main entree. yummy!!!!
I don’t think I have ever used cumin. Approximately how much would you use in this recipe?
Sounds yummy…and over the last few years I am definitely acquiring more of a palate for spicy foods!
Definitely spicy!! It’s good for the metabolism, right?
That salad looks delicious – thanks for sharing!!!
Hope your half today was great!!!
The salad looks delicious! And adding the corn gives it that extra layer of sweetness. Will definitely have to try this out!
Spicy… always, always spicy!!
Also on a different note GIIIRRRL those quads!! you look AH-MAZING.
Spicyyyyy! The spicier the better!
Good luck on your race! I make a salsa very similar to this but add avocado as well! I love mine mild 🙂
spicy! I’m currently loving a new local salsa I found at the farmers market that’s made of apples. It’s different because it’s a little sweet at first, but then is really spicy. I might have gone through 2 jars already..and it’s been a week :X
Spicy! Or what’s the point? Love the idea of scooping it up in a chip.
That salad looks delicious! Have fun at your race tomorrow!
Spicy! Everything around this part of the world is spicy! Just wondering…if you used frozen corn, wouldn’t the salad be a bit watery when the corn thaws?
I was afraid of that, but it wasn’t watery at all.
This sounds so good! I love adding stuff like this ontop of big leafy salads. I hope you have fun in your race tomorrow.
