Black Bean and Corn Salad

Rachel found this recipe first from www.sisterscafe.blogspot.com!
I tried it and really liked it and so I made it except left out the cilantro and added yellow peppers too!!

Black bean and Corn Salad

1/3 cup lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
~~combine above ingredients and shake together until well mixed
2-3 cups black beans or 2 (15 oz) cans rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups frozen sweet corn, thawed
1 avocado, diced (I put in more because we really like the avocado)
1 small red pepper, diced
2 medium tomatoes, diced
6 green onions, finely chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup cilantro
~~put together above ingredients. Pour lime dressing over and stir well to coat. Salad can be made ahead of time, but add avocado just before serving!
Makes 4-5 servings for main course, and 8-10 servings side dish!
(we ate ours with chips and inside fajitas or burritos!)
