Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, let’s get everything prepped! Begin by rinsing and chopping the romaine lettuce. I love using a sharp knife to create crisp, bite-sized pieces that are easy to eat. Next, lay your chopped lettuce at the bottom of a large platter or bowl to create a beautiful base for your salad. Once that’s done, I like to sprinkle the black beans evenly over the lettuce, followed by a generous layer of corn. The pops of sweet corn add such a delightful crunch!
