Ingredients
  

For the slaw:

  • 12 oz (1 bag) rainbow slaw found in produce section near bagged coleslaw
  • ½ cup frozen corn thawed
  • ½ cup black beans drained and rinsed

For the dressing:

  • ¾ cup light mayonnaise Hellmann's or Duke's recommended
  • ¼ cup light or reduced fat sour cream Daisy's or Breakstone's recommended
  • 2 tablespoon taco seasoning a packet of taco seasoning has 3 T.; this recipe uses 2T.
  • 2-3 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed

Instructions
 

  • Empty the bag of rainbow slaw into a large mixing bowl. Then add the drained and rinsed black beans and defrosted corn. Gently mix.
  • Next, make the dressing. Add the mayo, sour cream and taco seasoning to a separate, small mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • Add lime juice to the small bowl; mix well.
  • Fold the dressing into the large bowl; mix well.
  • Cover and chill for at least one hour before serving.

Notes

Store in any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate. Enjoy within 1-2 days.
I always let this sit for an hour in the fridge to avoid a gritty feeling from the taco seasoning. I typically use McCormick's, but any taco seasoning will work well.
If you don't have taco seasoning, you can use 1 teaspoon each of chili powder and cumin, along with a dash of cayenne and garlic powder.
