That sounds good, Obby!

I have one too

Black Bean & Corn Salad

1/3 fresh lime juice
½ C. olive oil
1 clove garlic minced(yeah...I use a TON more )
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. cayanne pepper(I use ¼ tsp.)
2(15 oz.) cans black beans; drained & rinsed
1½ C. frozen corn(I use fresh off the cob when I have it)
1 avocado; peeled, pitted, and diced
1 red bell pepper chopped
2 tomatos chopped
6 green onions sliced thin
½ C. fresh cilantro chopped

Place the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, & cayanne in a small jar. Cover and shake til well mixed.

In a salad bowl combine beans, corn, avocado, red bell pepper, tomatoes, green onions, & cilantro. Toss lime dressing over the top and toss the salad.
Let this hang out in the fridge for at least an hour. It needs time to get happy


You can use this as a side dish, or serve as a dip with tortilla chips.
