I love simple salads that take just a minute or two to make out of fresh ingredients, satisfy everybody and cost peanuts. I especially love them when the fresh collard greens I went looking for at the farm turned out to not be in season and I was stuck for a fast, cheap and easy side dish. So this is going to be as quick a post as this dish is to make. All it requires is black beans, fresh corn and roasted red peppers. I've been making this recipe for close to 20 years. It originally started out as a cold Angel Hair pasta salad I used to serve at barbecues and bring to pot lucks. People liked it and the recipe spread around Santa Monica and West LA. This is a modified version sans pasta.
