Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 15 ounces can of black beans
  • 15 ounces can of corn
  • 1/2 large green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Drain the corn and empty into a large mixing bowl. Drain and rinse the black beans, combine with corn. (In other words, drain both cans but be sure to rinse the black beans as well.)
  • Add the remaining ingredients and gently toss with a spoon. Allow the mixture to rest in the refrigerator for a half hour before serving.
  • Variations: for a spicy salad, add one or two finely chopped and seeded jalapeno peppers. Another variation is to add one diced avocado. Keep in mind the avocado won't keep very well, so add it right before serving.
