Corn and Black Bean Salad

Ingredients:

4 cans of black beans, drained and rinsed

1.5 kilo of frozen or fresh corn

½ cup chopped red onion

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/3 cup cilantro

1/3 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice

2 teaspoons honey

1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional but gives great flavor to the salad)

1 teaspoon cumin

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (best you can find)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine black beans, corn, red onion and red bell pepper. Set aside.

In a small bowl, mix lime juice, olive oil, honey, hot sauce, cumin, salt and pepper. Whisk until it resembles a dressing.

Pour over vegetables and toss until dressing is coating vegetables. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Fold in cilantro and serve.

Will stay fresh in the refrigerator for a week to ten days.

Note: This recipe is adapted from a recipe MR N found on Epicurious.
