Black Bean Salad


2 15 oz cans of Black Beans, rinsed and drained 1 Jalapeño, seeded and minced 1 small Red Bell Pepper, cored and diced ¼ cup small diced Red Onion ¼ cup minced Cilantro leaves ¼ cup fresh Lime Juice Salt and Pepper to taste ½ Teaspoon Ground Cumin Combine all the ingredients in bowl. Let marinate for 30 minutes and taste to adjust seasonings. Options: For a more Middle Eastern flavor, increase the cumin to 1 tsp, and add Mandarin Supremes and toasted slivered almonds or pine nuts. Or puree ingredients to make a flavorful bean dip with no fat. Or add thawed sweet corn for a whole different concept.
