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

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh peppers, herbs, and citrus fruits will give your dressing a vibrant taste.
- Choose ripe peppers for a sweeter flavor. Greener peppers will be more bitter.
- Remove the seeds from the peppers before chopping them to reduce the heat. The seeds are the hottest part of the pepper.
- Finely chop the peppers and herbs so that they disperse evenly throughout the dressing. This will help ensure that every bite has a bit of flavor.
- Use a blender or food processor to make a smooth dressing. This will help to emulsify the oil and vinegar and create a creamy texture.
- Taste the dressing as you make it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more oil, vinegar, salt, or pepper to taste.
- Let the dressing sit for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld. This will make the dressing even more delicious.
- Serve the dressing on salads, tacos, burritos, or grilled meats. It can also be used as a marinade or dipping sauce.
