Fresh, Easy and High Addictive . . .

I just read that title and decided it sounds a bit like a description of a promiscuous woman! Oh well.

I haven't posted in over three weeks.  I've been busy with huge parties, painting projects, beach trips and bad eating habits.  But I'm back and I'm trying to be good.

Here's a recipe I took to the beach house for all the Healthy Wife ladies to enjoy.  The Queen asked for the recipe this morning, so I thought I'd share it with you all:

Fresh Corn & Bean Salad

1 pkg. Good Seasoning Italian dressing (Mix according to directions, do not use Zesty)
1 can black beans
1 can black-eyed peas
1 can shoe peg corn

Drain and rinse the three cans of ingredients.  Place in large bowl.

Dice the following and add to the above:

2 bunches of green onions
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
3 tomatoes
cilantro (optional)

Let marinate and chill for one hour.  Serve with Baked Tostitos or as an accompaniment to any kind of taco, wrap or burrito.

Samantha's Note:
I think you could use 2/3 of the dressing and it would be just fine. Don't freak out that you're using dressing - this makes A LOT of salad, so your spreading the dressing out over probably 16 or so servings.  It might also be delicious to seed and dice a cucumber for some extra crunch if you want more veggies. 

Let me know if any of you try this.
