Corn and Pepper Salad

 This is from way back when we took our Strengthening Marriages class from Mary Finlayson after our first year at Stanford. Memories! 

Ingredients: 

2 cups canned CORN drained

1/2 cup canned BLACK BEANS, drained and rinsed

1 1/2 cup chopped RED BELL PEPPER

1/2 cup YELLOW BELL PEPPER (or orange, for more color variety)

1/2 cup chopped parsley    (I usually just sprinkle on a bit of dried parsley)

1/2 cup chopped cilantro     (I usually leave this out)

Dressing: 

6 T. salad oil (not olive)

6 T. white vinegar

6 T. fresh lime juice

1/4 t. minced garlic

3 T. sugar (or less)

salt and pepper

pinch of thyme

**If doubling the recipe, don't double the dressing!
