Black Bean and Rice Salad

Great for potlucks.

• 2 c cooked rice
  
• 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  
• 10 oz corn
  
• 2 red bell peppers, diced
  
• 1 red onion, diced
  
• 1/2 c chopped cilantro
  
• 2 T balsamic vinegar
  
• 1/4 c lime juice
  
• 1/2 c oil
  
• to taste
  

Combine black beans, rice, peppers, onion, cilantro.

Combine remaining ingredients; whisk or shake to blend.

Toss dressing with salad.

This is best made a few hours in advance, and served not directly from the fridge.

I usually cook my own black beans, and often add a bit more rice. Can use frozen corn (thaw in colander under running water) if fresh sweet corn is not in season.
