Ingredients

    1 can black beans (or 2-cups cooked)

    1 cup frozen corn
    1 (10-oz) can Rotel tomatoes with green chiles
    1 green pepper, chopped
    1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro (or parsley); can use less or more to taste, but I prefer lots of cilantro

    2 stalks celery, finely chopped

    Dressing:
    1/4 cup olive oil
    2 T. wine vinegar (I used white-wine vinegar)
    2-4 cloves garlic, minced (I used 4, as I like more garlicy flavor)

    1/4 tsp. salt

Drain & rinse beans in colander. In an extra large bowl, combine all chopped/fresh ingredients.

Mix dressing in a separate bowl, and pour over bean/veggie mix.

    Incredible!
    This was WONDERFUL, so easy & filling! I left out the onion & cilantro, added an extra green pepper & used balsamic vinegar instead of white wine vinegar. Spread over a bed of fresh spinach & it makes a GREAT lunch or afternoon snack! - 8/29/11
