Black Bean & Corn Salad

10 Minutes to Prepare and Cook

1 can (14 oz.) Black Beans - rinsed and drained well
1 can (14 oz.) Yellow Corn - drained
1 cup diced Red Ripe Tomatoes
1/2 cup mild diced Onions
1 clove Garlic - crushed or finely chopped
2 tbsp Fat Free Italianor Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

*Optional (for a more latin/mexican flavor):
Fresh Cilantro - chopped
Fresh Parsley - chopped
Finely minced jalapeno or other peppers to taste

Directions

1. Drain liquid from corn, rinse beans and allow to drain well while you chop the tomatoes and onions.

2. Mix all ingredients in bowl.

3. Add herbs and/or peppers per your own preference.

4. Can be served immediately, but I prefer to refrigerate several hours or over night to allow the flavors to mix.

Makes approx. 10 one-half cup servings.

** This works great as a side dish, topping for a green salad, pita or wrap filling, or can be served as a 'salsa' to accompany mild fish, chicken or pork tenderloin.
