The weather could not be nicer today and I could not be any more excited for all of the "get togethers" we have planned for this holiday weekend! I wanted to share a recipe that always reminds me of summer (in appearance and flavor).
Although I usually prefer fresh veggies and soaked black beans, for this recipe, canned works best. Feel free to substitute in ingredients and season to taste (...I usually don't use a measuring cup for this one!)
I will usually make this salad the evening before the party and will keep it covered in the fridge. Have a great holiday weekend. Enjoy!
My dad use to eat a similar dish when I was a kid. I think he called it "Hoppin' John." Anyway it looked the same...yum!

My husband's name is John, and I must confess, *he* is the one who usually makes this dish...he's going to crack up at "Hoppin' John"!
I've had to resist going into the fridge to sneak a bite! It's not only good, but super easy to make alot of if you're having or going to a party!
