I am participating in the Beano® “Be Natural” Virtual Cook-off with some other bloggers and my recipe must be delicious and “gas-producing.” The recipe will be judged by a panel and then five finalists will be picked. All five finalists will win a set of all-natural cookware. Finally, the Beano online community will then vote on Facebook and the grand prize winner gets a trip to New York City to attend classes at the Natural Gourmet Institute.
My challenge was to come up with a recipe using at least five gas producing ingredients. So I give you my mother's Spicy Corn & Bean Salad.
Red Kidney Beans (canned) – Rinsed and Drained
Pinto Beans (canned) – Rinsed and Drained
Corn (frozen)
1/2 Large Red Onion – diced
1 Medium size Red Pepper – diced
Sprig of Parsley – chopped small
Red Pepper Flakes
Tabasco – 2 teaspoons
Italian Dressing (I use Viva Italian) – 2-3 tablespoons
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Combine beans, corn, onion, red pepper and parsley in a bowl. Let the mixture stand about 10-15 minutes so that the flavors combine. Add Italian dressing, Tabasco and red pepper flakes. Toss it all together, garnish with a sprig of parsley and serve. I chill this salad a little because I think that it tastes delicious cold but room temperature is great as well.

We’re having a recipe like this today for the big Michigan v. Notre Dame game! We also use Beano and it’s a great help for post tailgating! 🙂
This recipe is awesome! I love all of the beans and corn in it.
This looks delicious. I think I will change up the recipe and use black beans with mine, since my kids can muster those in their palate more.
Great recipe! We eat Mexican food a lot and I love that this is such a colorful and healthy side compared to the rice and beans that people usually pair with it. Thanks for the recipe!
That looks really tasty, and healthy too!
This looks so delicious and healthy, tasty, easy too! Thanks so much!
That is gorgeous looking! Laughing that it has to be “gas-producing!!” Good luck in the virtual cookoff!
“Gas-producing recipe” made me smile. It looks yummy, but I don’t think this would be a good idea in my house!
This looks so delicious – I love salads like this!

This looks amazing. My daughter loves corn, so I am sure she will like this.
Mmm this sounds good – perfect for a BBQ side!
The recipe looks yummy. People with arthritis should go slow on this. Beans contain a lot of uric acid. Godd luck, and hope you’ll win.
Sounds delicious and sooo healthy.
We just made this for our holiday picnic but ti wasn’t spicy. SO good I could eat it everyday.
