Ingredients: 1 can of black beans drained; 1 can of corn drained; 2 stalks of celery chopped; 1/2 green pepper chopped; 1/2 red pepper chopped; 4 green onions thinly sliced; 1/4 cup chopped cilantro; 1 Tbsp. canola oil; 2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice; 1 tsp. Lawry's Seasoned Salt; 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Minutes to Prepare: 20

Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

1 can of black beans, drained1 can of corn, drained2 stalks of celery, chopped1/2 green pepper, chopped1/2 red pepper, chopped4 green onions, thinly sliced1/4 cup chopped cilantro1 Tbsp. canola oil2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice1 tsp. Lawry's Seasoned Salt1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Mix all ingredients together, cover and refrigerate. That's it! This salad improves upon sitting. It can be served in lettuce cups, on top of salad (especially good on a salad made with leftover steak!), as a dip, or just wrapped inside a corn tortilla, with a bit of cheese and some salsa, for a quick lunch. This makes about 4 cups, or eight 1/2 cup servings.

Variations: I like to use a roasted, chopped poblano in place of the regular green pepper. Other peppers (banana, jalapeno, etc.) can also be substituted according to your taste. Corn roasted on the grill would be great, too. If you can find jicama, that also adds a nice crunch. Enjoy!

White Chicken Chili

This is a modified version of a recipe on allrecipes.com that I enjoy greatly and that gives you a lot of protein, a lot of taste, and very few calories. You could make it much faster and easier with pre-prepared chicken breast, first sauteed with the onions and garlic in olive oil. You would increase the amount of broth by 1/2 cup or so and wouldn't use water in that scenario. Submitted by: TISHARAY

OMG it's Tofu Queso (95 Calories 6 Carb) MUST TRY

I modified this from the Ellen Show (10-05-10). Made it for the Superbowl and put it out with the "other" queso. It ran out first. It's a great faux cheese for nachos. The uses are endless. You can add anything to it... Don't forget to add your chips to your tracker. ;-)Submitted by: AMBER353

Gluten-Free Flour Tortillas

If you are gluten-free like me, you should know how hard it is to find a recipe for gluten-free tortillas that bend without breaking; that are big enough to actually wrap around something; and that taste like flour tortillas! Well look no further... here it is!Submitted by: MRS_MORRIS
