Black Bean, Corn and Red Pepper Salad With Chile-Lime Dressing image

This recipe was in the Seattle Times August 20, 2008. It's different from other black bean and corn salads I think because of the lime juice. When I made it, I used only one can of beans and that was plenty for us. I also used garlic salt instead of regular salt. This is a very good and refreshing salad that goes well with Mexican food. I think it would also be good with a couple of fresh, seeded, and minced jalapenos added.

I think this salad would also be good with a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.

I've also made this salad with canned black beans and corn. It's just as good, but not quite as fresh.

This salad is a keeper! The flavors are amazing and it's so easy to make. I used fresh corn and red peppers from my garden and the salad was even better than I expected. Will definitely be making this again and again.
