Notes: This will serve 4 easily as a main dish salad.

1 can black beans, drained, rinsed, and drained again
8 oz (about 1.5 c) frozen corn, no need to thaw
1 red/yellow/orange bell pepper, diced
1 med tomato, diced
1/4 red onion diced
1-2 serrano or jalapeno pepper
Cilantro, a handful, about 6-10 spigs, chopped
Juice from 1 lemon
0.5-1 teaspoons salt
Tabasco, optional

1. The bell pepper and tomato should be diced into pieces roughly the same size as the beans/corn.

2. Cut the serrano/jalpeno into quartes, length-wise, hold them together, and dice very finely.

3. The onion should be diced smaller than the bell peppers.

4. You can chop the cilantro stems and all. Just wash and drain them first.

5. Mix everything together, taste and adjust the seasonings.
