This is a GREAT TASTY HEALTHY recipe! I used Pace mild chunky salsa. I subbed cilantro for the parsley and added 1T of fresh lemon juice and garlic salt and black pepper to taste. We enjoyed this wrapped up in whole wheat tortillas with a little bit of shredded cheese and neufchatel or sour cream. YUM! Freddy Cat says it was nice visiting you!

I scaled this down alot and used only black beans. I'm not sure if I got the quantities right but there seems to be room for error. It's even better with a squirt of lime juice.

nice change from salsa, my husband wasn't sure about the cold beans and corn combo. I ate most of this and did enjoy. Will make again when we have a party and rate again with new feedback.
