Ingredients Healthy Garden Salad

5 tablespoons red wine vinegar

3 tablespoons canola oil

1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

(I used dried)

2 limes, juiced

1 teaspoon white sugar( or sweet and low)

3/4 teaspoon salt

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (1 pound) package frozen peas

3 cups frozen corn kernels
(also can add green beans or limas)

1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered

4 green onions, thinly sliced

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

DIRECTIONS


In a large serving bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, oil, cilantro, lime juice, sugar, salt and garlic. Set aside.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add corn and peas to the boiling water , cooking for 1 more minute. Drain very well, and pour into the bowl with the dressing. Gently mix in the cherry tomatoes, green onions and black beans. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to chill and blend the flavors. Add what ever veggies you enjoy..the fresh frozen work best.
