Confetti Bean Salad

A very simple and quick cold salad to serve with grilled summer meals, or all by itself.  Travels well, so would work great for pot lucks and mason jar salad.

I Can of Black Beans -rinse/drain

1 frozen or fresh corn

Add as many of the following according to your preferences:

Bell pepper - whatever you have.  I like mixing colors for a festive look.

Sweet Onion

Halved cherry or chopped whole tomato 

Celery

Thinly sliced carrots

Cucumber

1 or 2TBL. chopped parsley, cilantro or basil if desired

Dressing: Vinegar, Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, Garlic powder, touch of sugar

Toss and taste.  Adjust seasoning. 

Chill and enjoy!

Spice Organizing

Finally my spice cupboard is organized!   I bought these small baskets from the dollar store and sorted and labeled the jar tops.  Now I can just grab the basket and quickly find the jar I am looking for without frustration.

You can make your labels neater.  I am just happy that I can read them without my glasses!
