This black bean salad, aka "Texas Caviar" is great on tortilla chips or on its own as a quick and easy side dish. Be sure to rinse the beans well if you want to keep it looking pretty.

* For gluten-free diners, double check your cans of black beans and corn for gluten sources. Trader Joe's and Amy's black beans are gluten-free for sure, as are Del Monte cans of whole-kernel corn. For the dressing, you can opt to make your own vinaigrette or purchase a bottle of gluten-free dressing. Annie's Naturals, Ken's Steakhouse, Newman's Own, and Wishbone all make gluten-free Italian dressings.
INGREDIENTS
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 (15 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
8 green onions, chopped
2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
DIRECTIONS1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, juiced
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing (more or less to suit your tastes)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1. In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn, green onions, jalapeno peppers, bell pepper, avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and Italian dressing. Season with garlic powder. Toss, and chill until serving.
I've always made 'Texas Caviar' with black-eyed peas. This looks tasty.
