Black Bean & Corn Salad

This is a very easy bean salad you can make the night before and take to work, or serve as a side dish. I made the salad for the Healthy Beginnings meeting last week. It's full of color, taste & protein. Enjoy. ((HUGS)) Elissa Ingredients: 1 lg can black beans 1 bag of Trader Joe's white corn (frozen) 1/2 cup chopped vidalia onion 2 tblsp extra-virgin olive oil 3 tblsp apple cider or red wine vinegar salt, pepper & oregano to taste Instructions: Drain the canned beans and rinse well in a strainer.

Sounds really good and healthy. You always have such good recipes. Could you pass on somemore. My daughter and I are putting together a recipe book for our group in D.C. Alot of people there struggle with getting in protein since our Drs don't beleive in protein supliments. I will put your name by any submission with your permission. It was nice seeing you Tuesday. See you lighter. Joanne
