   Love, love, love Caprese Salad! We’ve already enjoyed it once this tomato season, but I may have to indulge at least once more now after seeing your yummy photo.

   I also love Caprese salad. I lived off of it for a month or so during my 1st pregnancy. OK, the recipe below has a lot of other ingredients, but I love it, and always make it when I have a lot of tomatoes to use up. I got the recipe from a friend who said it was similar to one in The Frugal Gourmet:

   Black Bean Salad
   from Allison Clark (Frugal Gourmet)

   2 cans black beans
   1 can corn
   1 large onion
   1 large green pepper
   3-5 tomatoes
   2 T basil
   olive oil
   balsamic vinegar
   cilantro

   Saute onion and pepper in olive oil with basil until tender. Allow to cool. Rinse black beans and corn. Add onion and pepper mixture with beans and corn. Add diced tomatoes and fresh cilantro. Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.

   If you are not eating this salad all at once:
   Combine beans and corn with onion and pepper mixture. Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Add only enough diced tomatoes and cilantro to go with the portion you are eating – these get yucky sitting in the fridge with the dressing. Bean and corn mixture can be kept in the fridge for a week or more.

   The Mrs. poster her recipe for pizza sauce over at Not the Jet Set. We made it for family this last weekend and no-one could believe it.

   We’re looking forward to enjoying this all winter!
