Thanks go out to my best friend Deb for staking out this recipe! Give it a try and let us know what you think. From "Full of Beans" cookbook by Violet Currie and Kay Spicier - thanks for the inspiration! A great way to enjoy the "hint of lime" flavor fad.
COMBINE IN A BOWL:
- 1 cup rinsed canned black beans
- 1 cup rinsed canned kidney beans
- 1 cup corn ( canned, thawed frozen or ideally cut right off the cob if it is in season(this is best!))

- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup fat free plain yogurt
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 small clove minced garlic

Toss over the bean mixture and refrigerate for a couple hours. Just before serving, add:
- 1 tomato, seeded and diced
- 1 small cucumber, diced

Toss well and serve!
