Arizona Wildcats (Tucson, AZ): Black Bean and Corn Salad
We really like when people do our work for us. Former Tucson resident Margot—who actually worked at the University of Arizona, which feels very meta—suggested this dish for U of A, which she described as “VERY southwest.”
“Anything with corn or black beans,” she wrote, in response to our request for a dish to symbolize the Wildcats. Being that this salad is about 90% corn and black beans, it seems to meet her criteria. Thanks Margot!
