This recipe for Calypso Corn Salad was inspired by the easy spirit of the Caribbean islands. It only takes a few minutes to assemble, and it can be served either cold or at room temperature. Best of all, most of the ingredients can be found in the pantry or the freezer, or you can take advantage of the abundance of sweet, summer corn available at the farmer’s market.

The wonderful thing about this combination of black beans, corn and spices is that it perfectly complements the smokiness of barbecued meats. It’s also delicious on a bed of greens as a summer salad. It is unique, colorful and tastes better the longer it sits in the pepper-infused citrus marinade.
