Thai Black Bean & Corn Salad

Submitted by lunaorion

"A zesty and slightly spicy asian-inspired salad. I wanted to make a black bean salad for a barbeque that was a little different-- I checked out the various thai-inspired recipes on the Zaar, but nothing seemed exactly right for me (taking into account what I had on hand..), so I created something with a little inspiration frim other recipes."

[Cilantro in Canada]

I let this sit overnight and it was very good. I did not have any soy ginger broth so I used plain chicken broth and added 1/8 tsp of ground ginger. I am not sure if this even came close to what trader joe's tastes like but I think the end result was very good. This is an easy salad to through together and is very healthy. thanks for the recipe.
