Orange Cilantro Black Bean Salad

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/2 medium red onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, pressed

1/4 tsp cumin

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can mandarin oranges, rinsed

juice of half a lemon

Salt & pepper to taste

Combine oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, onion, cumin and cilantro in a bowl. Add black beans and mix. Add oranges at the end, and be careful not to over mix, as they can break easily. The longer you let this salad stand, the more the flavours will blend together. Enjoy!

Seb's Famous Dip

Put a nice coat of Philly cream cheese on the bottom of the bowl (getting it at room temp makes it easier to spread with a spoon)
Add a healthy coat of HOT salsa sauce
Add a healthy coat of sour cream (you can mix in to the salsa to get a nice rose color)
Add a healthy amount of your favourite shredded cheese all over the top so cannot see the sauce anymore
Add diced vegetables (mix on green onions, white or red onions, red & green peppers, tomatoes).

Very easy to make and people really like it!
