Zesty Bean Salad

bean salad recipe

I found this recipe in two different places.  Iowa Girl Eats calls it Beanis Dip and I Love Food calls it Texas Caviar.  Both recipes are exactly the same.  I love this salad because it has cilantro in it.  I know not everybody likes cilantro, so you can leave it out.  I think next time I make this though, I might leave out the jalepeno pepper.

This is really delicious by itself as a salad and it's also good with corn chips.

Zesty Bean Salad

Here's the recipe:

1 can of black beans
1 can of corn
1 can of petite diced tomatoes     (I used 3 fresh tomatoes)
1 Tbsp of minced garlic
1 small red onion chopped     (I used half an onion)
1 green pepper chopped
2 jalapeno peppers seeded and chopped     (only used 1 jalapeno)
1 8oz bottle of zesty Italian dressing     (I just used 1/4 to 1/2 cup)
1 bunch of cilantro chopped
Pinch of salt and pepper

Drain and rinse black beans and corn.
Chop everything up.
Mix in a bowl.
