Stoplight Salad!

This is a recipe that I got from Simply in Season.  Its a great cookbook that is really helpful when meal planning because you can think about what fruits and veggies are in season, getting you fresher ingredients (not being shipped from Tim-buk-tu) at a hopefully lower price.


Stoplight Salad:
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 diced green pepper
1 diced yellow pepper
1 diced red pepper
1 15 oz. can black beans, drained (or you can soak and boil your own)
1 15 oz. can whole kernel corn
1/4 cup diced green onion

Mix all of that together in a large bowl, then move onto the dressing.

1 clove garlic minced
3 tbsps balsamic vinegar
3 tbsps olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Whisk everything together and pour over veggies. Mix everything together well. Then for my little addition, add cayenne pepper to spice it up to the level you want. I really like spicy food, but this was best with a small kick.
