I believe that people who use food as a crutch and a coping mechanism, aren't that different from those who use drugs, alcohol and sex to numb themselves. You can just tell by looking at us what our vice is. Chocolate covered almonds are my kryptonite, blogging is my therapy.

I am addicted to this salad....
No joke. I make it almost every week, and eat it throughout the week in 1, or 2 cup measured out portions. People keep asking me for the recipe, so I am posting it here:
2 cans of black beans - rinsed
2 cans of corn - rinsed
1 cup of chopped pepper - whatever colour you like, and I usually do 3 whole peppers, but that's just me because the original recipe calls for onions and tomatoes, which I hate.
1/2 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 onions
1/2 cup chopped basil (I cheat and buy the squeeze tube of basil from the grocery store - add 2 tablespoons or so)
1/2 cup feta cheese - Ummmmmm...whoever adds only 1/2 cup of Feta ain't no friend of mine. I always add a lil' extra.
Dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons of white wine vinegar - I usually add a wee bit extra, cause I love it.
1 teaspoon mustard - recipe calls for Dijon, which I hate, so I use regular
Mix the salad portion together, make the dressing, add, stir. Add salt and pepper to taste.
I have started adding a little bit of carrot, to try it out, and will also try celery soon, too... I also add some extra spices, like maybe paprika, or chipotle - just for extra flavour.
Enjoy!

Sounds yum!
I wonder how it would be if you substituted cilantro for the basil?
