Bean and Corn Salad

This recipe was given to me by a good friend of mine, Katie, who had it for dinner some night last week. I was there when she made it, and it looked so yummy that I asked her the recipe. I've made it twice now and it will be on my menu at least once a week now!

I did make a few customizations to the original to suit my tastes, but nothing major.

To make it the way I did, you will need:

1-2 cans of black or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
1 cup corn kernels
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
Juice of one lime (2 tbsp)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1-2 tbsp chopped parsley (I used dried)

Mix it all together and let it sit for an hour or two before serving. Fantastic with chips!
