Everybody but Joshua loves it!

1 can of drained and rinsed black beans
1 can of corn
1/2 diced green bell pepper
1/2 diced red pepper
1/2 cup your favorite dressing (vingarette is best)

Mix all together. Add cilantro if you like it. Chill until cold. Serve with salsa, sour cream, cheese, lettuce (we like spinach) and tortilla chips. Yum!

Cafe Rio Pork and Salad Dressing

This is tasty! I like to eat it as a salad like they serve it at Cafe Rio. I just layer a tortilla, rice, black beans, pork, cheese, lettuce, tomato or pico de gallo, and the dressing. Or you can make it into a burrito with black beans and rice. Also tasty made into quesadillas with cheese and dipped in the dressing. Trent also has eaten it made into a taco with some rice, cheese, and spinach. Basically you can eat it any way you want, and it's delicious all around.
