Blog Post: Great Recipe for Black Bean and Corn Salad

I love black bean salads because you can use them in many different ways. They can be a main dish by putting them in a whole wheat tortilla or make a salad bowl and top it with the bean salad. You can use it as a side to your main dish and as a mid day snack as it can be pretty filling. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
• 1/4 teaspoon seasoned pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried cilantro
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 (15 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, mix together vinaigrette, seasoned pepper, cilantro, cayenne pepper, and cumin. Set dressing aside.
2. In a large bowl, stir together beans, corn, onion, green onions, and red bell pepper. Toss with dressing. Cover, and refrigerate overnight. Toss again before serving.

Enjoy!!
