Southwestern Bean Salad

Makes 4 servings
The sweet cumin vinaigrette gives this easy corn-and-bean salad an
unusual flavor.

  • 1 15 oz can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed (about 2 ears if using fresh kernels)
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 4 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tbs cider vinegar
  • 2 tbs honey
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground mustard
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/8 tsp ground red pepper
  • Salad greens

Rinse the beans well to remove excess salt (rinsing under running
water for about 1 minute will remove up to 40% of the sodium). Combine beans, corn, bell pepper and onions in large bowl. Blend vinegar and honey in small bowl until smooth. Stir in salt,  mustard, cumin and red pepper. Drizzle over bean mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Serve on a bed of lettuce leaves.
