Black Bean, Florida Corn and Red Pepper Salad

Ingredients

1/3 cup vinegar

1 tablespoon mustard

1 teaspoon oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 small red onion, diced

2 cups canned black beans, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (option)

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Add the onion and black beans.
