BLACK BEAN, CORN AND RED PEPPER SALAD WITH CHILE-LIME DRESSING



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.
