Southwestern Salad

2 Tbs olive oil
juice of 1 lime
1/4 tsp salt
pinch of black pepper
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
15 1/2 oz can of small white beans, rinsed and drained
15 1/2 oz can of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tomato, finely chopped
2 Tbs finely chopped red onion

1) In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder. This is the salad dressing.
2) Add the rest of the ingredients to the dressing and toss.

Review: This was a fairly basic salad. The original recipe didn't call for black beans, but it made so little food that I decided to add to the dish. I also added a bit more cumin, because Mike and I believe that cumin is usually under utilized. Mmmm.
