I wasn’t quite sure about this recipe when I read it. But I needed a salad and I had the most of the ingredients so I threw caution to the wind and went for it. I’m glad I did. The salad is easy to make and very good. The lime juice and chili powder give the salad an exotic taste that I really like.

Black Bean and Corn Salad

• 1 (14 oz) can of black beans – drained and rinsed
• 2 cups of frozen corn
• 1/2 bell pepper – chopped
• 3 Tablespoons lime juice
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder

Throw the frozen corn in the colander. Put the black beans on top. Then you can multi-task by thawing the corn and rinsing the beans at the same time.

Toss everything together in a bowl and let the flavors mingle for a few hours. Give it a stir and serve it up.
