Directions

1. In a large bowl, I blend the corn, black beans, celery, onion, and cilantro.  I want them well mixed. 

2. In a separate mixing bowl, I mix the salsa and vinegar dressing. 

3. I pour the mixture over salad and toss well.

4. I cover with plastic wrap, place in refrigerator and chill.

Picnicking & Tailgating

I find this easy to do, just before hitting the road.  I put the salsa dressing mixture in a glass jar and place it in the ice chest.  The salad greens, I place in large plastic storage bags, seal and into the ice chest.  When I am ready to eat, I just toss them together and serve for our picnic or tailgate function.
