Potluck ... corn and bean salad
Roy had a "family favorites" potluck at work... here is one of ours
Corn and Bean Salad
This has been popular with the whole family. It’s easy to throw together, and easily multiplied. It also keeps well in the fridge.
Serves 4
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 ½ cups frozen corn, thawed under running water
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
½ jalapeño pepper, finely minced (optional)
¼ cup cilantro, minced
Juice from 1 large lime
¼ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon cumin
½ - 1 teaspoon mild chili powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
Put beans and vegetables in a bowl. Mix dressing ingredients in a small jar and mix with salad. Note: there might be a bit much dressing, don’t use it all if you don’t want.


Hi Deb-can't wait to try the bean salad...we love the bean and jalapeno mix...remind me to give you one of mine that is similar..and easy.
Called the other day to make sure you were alright...have not heard back from you that you got the newsletter via email and that is not like you...then I thought perhaps you had left for Italy! But that is in the fall. Hope all is going well.
