Corn and Black Bean Salad

Fiber Up with Beans

Black beans are loaded with fiber--the soluble kind that helps to lower blood cholesterol. Start slowly so you have time to get used to more fiber!

I LOVE THIS SALAD

I have made this salad on a number of occasions and it has received rave reviews each and every time. I can't count the number of people who ask for the recipe. The combination of the chili and lime along with the Chipotle chilies is wonderful.
