This is a great salad for a summer potluck or cookout. Proteins from the beans and quinoa also make this a bright summer lunch.

Quick and Easy Black bean and Corn salad/relish

This is a recipe that will blow you away! Even people who do not appreciate this sort of thing (like myself) will love it. I made all my beans from dried, but you can use canned if you are not concerned about corn derivatives. Just be sure to rinse and drain them! The original recipe called for 1 1/2 C cooked corn instead of chick peas, but I changed it to make the recipe corn and gluten free. You can always experiment with other types of beans. The friend who gave me this recipe put pinto beans in hers.

*****NOTE***** If you want to be sure that this recipe is also corn safe, you must:

1) use a high quality red wine vinegar -- check the label or call the manufacturer!
2) cook your own beans (or use a canned product that lists beans as its sole ingredient!)
3) use real lime juice that you squeeze from the fruit!
4) use non-iodized salt!
5) use high quality spices you can trust, like McCormick single ingredient spices (in this case, cumin)


FYI: 'Qinoa' is pronounced "keen-WAH"

I'll try to get a better pic next time I make it. I ate it all before I thought of it!

This is a great salad served inside a whole-wheat pita with lettuce, salsa and a wedge of avocado. Great with tortilla scoops to serve as an appetizer.

My first attempt. I made it while being very congested so I went for more spice and onions (vitamin C) makes about 12 1 cup servings

Great low-fat, low-soduim dish for parties, potlucks, or casual at-home dinners. Wonderful when prepared with pulled pork tacos. Can also be used as a dip for chips.

This is a great salsa served with tortilla chips or in tacos.

Black Beans, Garbanzo Beans, Corn, and diced Veggies mixed with sweet & sour dressing. High in carbohydrates, fiber, and protein.

Use the recipe version rather than the weights (that was just doing my best for the calculator limitations)
Can make hotter or milder as wished.

A zesty and very hearty salad that can be served many different ways. Especially good on a bed of mixed Romaine and Spinach.

Yummy vegetarian meal that even your kids will love.( Hint: tell them the beans are blue corn till after they try(and LOVE) them.) It works!
