Black Bean and Roasted Corn Salad


There's no fat in this salad, not even in the dressing. I found the recipe in some sort of diet book, years ago. We still eat it off and on and it's wonderful when you can roast the corn on a grill. Great lo-cal salad side for a picnic.
Ghastly photo...I apologize.

Sounds fabulous! I think perhaps the Knight needs to roast some corn...
