One recipe that everyone (even Jim) requested was this one:  
It's excellent!!    And Laura had leftovers for lunch the next day and said it was good then as well!!!

Black Bean, Corn, and Avocado Salad

Mix together the sauce and set aside:

            ½ cup fresh lime juice                  2 tblsp olive oil

            2 cloves minced garlic                 ½ tsp salt

            pinch sugar                                      ¼ tsp cumin

            ½ jalapeno, seed and minced

In a serving bowl, mix together:

            15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 ½ cups white shoepeg corn (my favorite is Green Giant canned)

½ cup chopped cilantro

¼ red onion, diced

1 avocado, diced

(1 red pepper diced, if you like it)

Add the sauce to the vegetables, stir gently, chill at least 30 minutes, enjoy!

(I don’t like raw garlic too much; I slice a clove or two and let it sit in the olive oil for a little while and then just add the oil to the sauce)
