SOUTHWEST BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine beans, corn, pepper, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro, and gently toss.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
- Pour dressing over beans mixture and gently toss to combine well and coat all of the bean salad ingredients.

SOUTHWESTERN BLACK BEAN AND HOMINY SALAD
Like the rest of the northeast, it's been a hot summer here in Eastern Maine; however, most of us here don't have airconditioning, so I'm on the lookout for interesting whole-meal salads! Found this on epicurious. If you haven't tried hominy, it's about time: it's corn treated with cooking lye, so that it comes out with a texture and flavor somewhere between corn and garbanzo beans. Recipe calls for yellow hominy, but all we can find here is white; doesn't make any difference in the taste, from what I can tell. Give it a little time in the refrigerator before serving so it's nice and cold!
