Black Bean and Corn Salad

In looking for something to have for dinner tonight, Travis and I decided quesadillas would be a good choice (no trip to the store - yeah!).   To go along with them I mixed up a quick black bean and corn salad this afternoon.   I also thought this would be a perfect entry to Sweetnick's ARF/5-a-day Tuesdays - something I've been meaning to contribute to for a while now.

I really just mixed things together to taste, but first whisked together:

• 4 tablespoons of white balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1/2 teaspoon each:  salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder

then added:

• 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 1/2 cups frozen corn, rinsed to take the chill off
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• Handful of cilantro, chopped

It's chilling now in the refrigerator and should be ready by dinner tonight.

Sher, Thanks so much! I've been slowly trying to get better at photographing the food - glad to hear my practice is paying off!
