Cooking in the Lite

Southwstern flavor with pizzaz!

• 3 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 4 tablespoons frozen corn
• 1-2 tablespoons chopped red onion
• 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and chopped
• 2 medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1 fresh jalapeno, seeded and chopped
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
• 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• Salt/pepper to taste
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro

Combine and gently mix all ingredients in large salad bowl. Enjoy this feast to the eyes and palate alone or with other dishes. In my family, this dish is so appreciated, it stands on its own.

I use all organic ingredients and my own homegrown products in season when possible. Bon appetit!
