 1 (4 ounce) jar pimentos
 3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
 1 lime, juiced
 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn, green onions, jalapeno peppers, bell pepper, avocado, pimentos, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and Italian dressing. Season with garlic salt. Toss, and chill until serving.
