Black Bean & Corn Salad
Source: Vicky's Kitchen

Why I Like It:
I just LOVE this! I love everything about it - the fresh vegetables, the hint of lime, the colors - and it is very healthy. I eat it as a side dish, take it to parties and scoop it up with tortilla chips. I recommend cutting this recipe in half for small families because it is best served within 1-3 days.

Ingredients:
2 cans black beans, drained
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 small bell pepper (any color combo), diced
1 large tomato, diced
1/4 cup green onion, sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 fresh green jalepeno, minced


Directions:
In a large bowl, combine lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk in olive oil. Stir in beans, corn, bell pepper, tomato, green onion cilantro and jalepeno. Cover and chilll.
