I genuinely apologize for being such a bum about remembering to update my blogspot!! This is terrible. A lot has been going on lately!! I am trying to find a job- but I do have many promising prospects thus far. I'm just waiting to hear from them... The Fourth of July was wonderful! We went down to my grandmother's for a visit with her. There was entirely too much, good food, but who forgot the wine!?? Happy Freedom! It was nice to have my brother and sister-in law come down for the holiday, and my aunt, uncle, and parents... There were some serious scrabble games played!!!
Try making this recipe in your kitchen:
Black Bean and Corn Salad
1 15 or 16oz. can corn (or frozen-thawed)
3- 15oz cans of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 Cup chopped, red onion
1/4 Cup chopped, fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic- minced
Salt and Pepper
1/3 Cup. red-wine vinegar
2/3 Cup. Olive Oil
Mix corn, beans, onions, cilantro, garlic salt and pepper. Mix separately the vinegar/oil, and pour over the bean mixture. Toss to coat. Serve with tortilla chips or alone as a side dish. Optional additions: add 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, 1 can of green chilies, or 1 avocado-diced.
Does really well if you can let it marinate overnight before eating.
