Nancy Young Posted a loverly Spicy Tortillia Soup, some time ago. I really
like this soup but for some reason haven't made it very often. Today I'll
make up a potfull that should keep mee in soup for lunch most of next week.
That just leaves making a sandwich or whatever else I want for lunch as a
side to the soup. Anyone got a good black bean salad recipe?

Here is my recipe for a corn and black bean salad:

Corn and Black Bean Salad Southwestern Style

2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (1 pound size) corn, drained and rinsed
Red and green bell pepper diced small(use as much as you like)
1 small red onion, small dice
1-2 stalks of celery, also diced small
2-3 green onions, diced for garnish
Cilantro, chopped for garnish

Mix all and set aside.
Make dressing:

3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1 cup cider vinegar
1 1/2 TBS. water
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 cup granulated sugar
Cumin to taste or can be omitted

Mix all of the dressing ingredients in a mixer bowl and mix on low until the
sugar has dissolved. Pour over the bean mixture. Refrigerate over night-next
day drain and discard the dressing and return the bean mixture to a serving
bowl-garnish with the chopped green onions and cilantro. Jan

This is from the mother-in-law of a friend of mine:

Black Bean Sesame Salad

3 Tb sesame oil
5 tsp red wine vinegar
1 can black beans, drained
1-1 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
1 pepper
1 cup fresh cilantro
1 cup corn
salt & pepper
optional: jalepeno or cucumber

Just chop whatever needs chopping and mix together.
