15 Minute Black Bean Salad

Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes Ingredients:
1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
½ cup minced onion
2 medium cloves garlic, pressed
½ cup diced red bell pepper
2 TBS pumpkin seeds coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
3 TBS fresh lemon juice
salt and black pepper to taste
* optional: dandelion greens

Directions:

Mince garlic and press onions and let sit for 5-10 minutes to bring out their health-promoting benefits.
Mix all ingredients together and serve. This salad will keep for a couple of days and gets more flavorful if you let it marinate in the refrigerator for awhile.
