Corn Salad


This nice light salad is perfect for a barbeque or picnic. It can be served hot or cold, but I prefer cold. It is also especially nice the day after....leftovers have never tasted better!





Ingredients

1 lb. package frozen corn
15-1/2 oz kidney beans, drained, rinsed
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 bell pepper diced
3 Tbs. chopped green onions
3 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. cumin

Preparation

Prepare corn according to package directions. In medium bowl, combine hot corn and all remaining ingredients; mix until well blended. Let stand in the refrigerator a minimum of 4 hours before serving. If possible prepare the night before so that the flavours have time to really mix.

Can be served hot or cold.

Makes 8 servings

on a somewhat nerdy note, this dish was featured on Star Trek Voyager. It was prepared for Chakotay who is vegetarian.
