This healthy salad has lots of taste and eye appeal. Add more or less jalapenos to suit your own heat preference. Most people like it this way and I serve some hot sauce on the side for the heat lovers.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked rice
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (12 ounce) can white corn, drained
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (3-4 limes)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 -3 pickled jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
salt
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 ripe tomato, chopped
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the rice, beans, corn and onions.
2. Toss to mix.
3. In a food processor, blend remaining ingredients, except the cilantro and tomatoes, until the peppers are finely minced.
4. Pour the dressing over the rice mixture and mix well.
5. Garnish with the cilantro and chopped tomatoes.
6. This salad can be made 1-2 days in advance and served either cold or room temperature.
