Black Bean and Corn Salad

Recipe By :Laura Kittleson

3 Points Per Serving

15 Ounces Black Beans, Canned -- rinsed and drained

1 1/2 Cups Frozen Corn -- thawed

1 Tomato -- seeded and diced

1 Green Bell Pepper -- cored and diced

1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro -- chopped

4 green onions -- chopped

Dressing:

2 TB lime juice

2 cloves garlic -- minced

1/2 Teaspoon Salt -- optional

fresh ground pepper to taste

1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin

2 Tablespoons Canola Oil

Mix together (gently) all ingredients except dressing ingredients in large bowl. It is ok to use unthawed corn if you are not going to serve right away- it will thaw as the salad "melds". Mix all the dressing ingredients EXCEPT oil in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil in a thin stream. Pour dressing over salad and gently mix. Cover and let sit at least 30 minutes. If not serving within 30-60 minutes, store in the fridge.

Yield: "5 1/2 Cups"

Didn't seed or juice the tomato- I like the juice

 
Perfect! I just got off work, It's 10.30 pm here and I just dropped

in here to see if I could find something easy and healthy to eat before I go to bed later tonight (I haven't eaten in 10 hours and I'm starving!)

I'll make this salad once I get home. It looks yummy! Thanks for posting!

Southwestern Salad

2 cup cooked brown rice
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 cup frozen corn kernels
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
1 small onion (chopped)
2 ribs of Celery, chopped
4 Green onions, chopped
1?4 cup vinegar or red wine vinegar
1?4 cup chopped cilantro leaves or parsley
1 minced jalapeno pepper (or cayenne to taste)
1 teaspoon chili powder

Combine all ingredients. Tastes even better if you let it stand for at
least one hour before serving. Actually you can throw anything in to this salad. It gets better after sitting overnight.
