Ingredients

SALAD: 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed1 package frozen white shoepeg corn, no sauce, cooked1 large tomato, diced1 medium to large bell pepper, color of your choice, diced1 to large medium red onion, diced1 jalapeno, diced1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped1/4 cup fresh flat leaf Italian parsleyDRESSING:1/2 cup oil (olive, canola or grapeseed)1/2 cup fresh lime juice1/4 cup white distilled vinegar (rice or white wine vinegar fine, too) 1/2 cup Sylvia's Cookin', Dippin', & Moppin' sauce (can sub ketchup)4 tsp Light Agave sytrup (can sub organic cane sugar)4 tsp chili powder2 tsp cumin2 cloves garlic, mincedKosher Salt and Fresh ground pepper, to taste

Directions

In large bowl, combine beans, corn, tomato, peppers, onion, cilantro and parsley.

To make dressing, in a seperate bowl whisk together all dressing ingredients (except the salt and pepper; use this at the end to your taste). Pour dressing mixture over salad then stir to combine all ingredients evenly. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.

NOTE: the dressing components can be altered to however you like it. I usually add more spices like ground chipotle powder and smoked paprika to mine. This is equally delicious over meat as it is on its own. Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

This is an adaptation of my favorite slow cooker chicken tortilla soup recipe. If you have the calories to spare, make some tortilla chips in the oven to eat with the soup and top with a bit of sour cream, cheese, avocado and anything else you like! It is very flavorful on it's own, though. Be sure to use high-quality enchilada sauce, as some brands can be greasy. I like to add other veggies in sometimes, such as carrots and squash.
