Black Bean & Corn Salad

Black Bean & Corn Salad

Ingredients:
black beans, drained and rinsed
sweet corn
tomatoes, diced
roasted red peppers, diced
red onion, diced
orzo pasta
assorted spices: chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cilantro, salt & pepper
lime juice

Directions:
While the orzo is cooking to al dente (just about 8-9 minutes), in a separate pan, saute all other ingredients except the lime juice. Drain the orzo (reserving some of the cooking liquid) before adding to the rest of the ingredients, and splash in enough of the reserved cooking liquid to keep things nice and moist. Finish with a squirt of lime juice.

Okay, so notice how I didn't give any measurements? That's because it should ALL be done to taste. Today, I just made enough to pack for dinner tonight, but it also translates well into a larger quantity to feed a crowd.

Enjoy!
