Cold black bean & corn salad - equivalent of 2 cans rinsed & drained black beans about 4 ears of fresh corn - corn cut off cob.Then diced pieces of tomato 2-4ish,some green onion diced,diced green or red pepper(or jalapeno if want it really spicy) if you like,can put in avocado as well but keep sep. so if leftovers avocado wont turn brown & mushy,cilantro if you like that and then make a dressing out of cayenne pepper,sea salt,olive oil,lime juice and minced garlic and mix well with it all. Eat with corn chips.My family loves this so much.I have a recipe someplace but am not much of a recipe person. Also a quick and easy meal my family loves is to take a couple cans of black beans & simmer on stove with salt,pepper and some onion and I add about 2 Tblspoons of balsamic vinegar but you dont have to.I cut up fresh green pepper and serve on top cold but you could simmer with the beans if you prefer it cooked.Serve over brown or jasmine rice.

Bean Dip

1 head Garlic
1-¼ teaspoon Olive Oil, Divided
1 can (15.8 Oz. Can) Northern Beans (or Cannellini)
¼ cups Fresh Cilantro Leaves, Loosely Packed
¼ teaspoons Salt
¼ teaspoons Pepper
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Peel most of the papery skin off of the head of garlic. Cut the top off of the garlic head to reveal individual cloves.
Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of olive oil over garlic, lightly coating garlic all over.
Wrap garlic in aluminum foil, or use a garlic roaster (or make your own), and bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
While garlic is roasting, warm beans in a small pan on low.
When garlic is finished roasting, let cool to the touch.
In a food processor, combine the warm beans, cilantro, salt, pepper and roasted garlic cloves until smooth.
If needed, add a little olive oil at a time until you reach preferred consistency.
