This Santa Fe Salad recipe is one of my favourite side dish recipes and gets rave reviews whenever I make it. A healthy and colorful salad that packs some amazing flavor! You will love the tasty combination of black beans and corn, tossed in a zesty cilantro lime dressing.
What a great summer it has been! The highlight of our summer was travelling to Quebec to watch our son compete in the Canada Summer Games. It is truly amazing to watch young people so dedicated to their sport. While many of their friends are enjoying the summer partying at the lake enjoying all kinds of food and drink, they are training hard, eating healthy, and getting to bed early. But once that final competition is done its time to enjoy the rest of the summer with backyard BBQ's and parties at the lake!
