I am always looking for new salads to try to take to summer barbecues and family birthday parties. Potato salads and pasta salads are always a hit, but I was looking for something new and decided to try this easy southwestern black bean and corn salad.

- 1 red or orange bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 c. cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbsp. lime juice (fresh or bottled)
- 1 tbsp. honey

Drain the black beans and corn. You can just dump all of the beans and corn in a colander in the sink to drain while you chop up the onion and bell peppers.

I love this vegetable chopper for easily chopping up my peppers and onions for salads and salsas.
-
In a small bowl, stir together the lime juice, honey, and cumin.
-
Place the drained beans and corn in a large serving bowl. Stir in the chopped bell peppers and onions. Stir in the cilantro.
-
Gently stir in the dressing.
Note: In place of the cumin, you can stir in a packet of taco seasoning instead if you want to give the salad a taco flavor.
This salad can be served immediately or refrigerated and served later. It still tastes great after several days in the refrigerator.
