pineapple, black bean and red pepper salad

If you've never looked through a Costco cook book, you have got to get your hands on one.  Their recipes are absolutely stunning.  This recipe, is such a refreshing, flavorful treat.  The lime, and cilantro combo is always a winner .

For the vinaigrette:

1 lime, juiced
3 TBSP marmalade, apricot, or apple jelly
1 TBSP olive oil

For the Salad:
2 cans black beans, rinsed
2 cups fresh pineapple cut into tidbits
2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 red pepper cut up into small bits
1/3 cup red onion finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
**optional** seeded and dices jalapeno pepper

Whisk dressing together in a small jar or bowl.  Add all the salad ingredients into a large container.  Toss with dressing.  Refrigerate for several hours.

This is a perfect summer salad.
