This recipe is great because its easy and quick to make, you can serve it cold, and goes well with any Mexican main course. Its also good for a quick lunch if you’re in a hurry!
What you need:
2 Cans Black beans
2 Cans Yellow corn
1 pkg. Cherry tomatoes (halved or quartered, depending on the size)
2 cloves Fresh minced garlic
2 T Fresh minced cilantro
1 Fresh minced jalapeno or serrano pepper
1/2 medium red onion, minced
1/3 C extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 T fresh lime juice
1 t chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and chili powder and whisk together to form a dressing. Drain the juice from the cans of corn and beans and add them to the bowl along with the tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, and cilantro. Toss and season with salt and pepper.
**a good idea is to make this the night before you want to eat it so that everything has time to marinate in the dressing!
