Pantry Salad

The epitome of quick and easy, if you have all the ingredients in your pantry. The original recipe called for regular Italian salad dressing; since we happened not to have any, we went a little more flavorful as listed. If it were up to me, the tomatoes would be left out, but short of that it might be worth the extra effort to seed and dice some nice firm Roma tomatoes.

1 can black beans -- drained ad rinsed
1 can whole kernel corn -- drained
1 can black eyed peas -- drained
1 can diced tomatoes
1 bell pepper -- diced
1 bunch green onions -- chopped
2 carrots -- peeled and chopped
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup oil,
1 TBSP coarse grind black pepper,
2 TBSP Tony's spicy Italian Spaghetti seasoning
2 TBSP sriracha sauce

In a large bowl mix all ingredients. Serve chilled.

This is, I should mention, likely to be the last recipe I post which is in fact a creation of my wee wifey. She now has her own blog, and is posting her own recipes.
