Spicy Bean Salad.

So while I was preparing dinner I had a thought.............why don't I put my favourite recipes on the blog and that way I'll either be able to get them from here or at least know where they came from because I waste valuable time trying to remember just where my recipes are :) I even have a photo !


So :

1 tin of sweetcorn(drained)
1/2 tsp chili flakes
3 large tomatoes(seeded and diced)
2 cloves garlic(finely chopped)
1 medium red onion
1 tin black beans(rinsed and drained)
3 tbsp coriander(chopped)


DRESSING:

2 tbsp Olive oil
2 tsp Honey
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp chipotle paste(or 2 tsps of tabasco chipotle)
salt and pepper.


1. Dry fry corn and chili in a non stick frying pan until looking charred ! Cool.

2. Once cool add to a large bowl with the tomatoes,garlic,onion,black beans and coriander.

3. Mix the all the dressing ingredients together and pour over the vegetables.Stir well.

Best left to stand for an hour.It's good the next day too.

I would like to point out this is not the original recipe but my (better !!) variation on it.
