Ingredients

  • Salad:
  • 1 can red kidney beans
  • 1 can garbanzo beans
  • 1 can white northern beans
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 lb. corn, cooked or grilled, chilled, 4-6 ears or roughly 3 cups frozen or canned work fine
  • 1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 lime, juiced {1-2 T.}
  • 1 tsp. med-hot chili powder or Cajun powder

Preparation

Step 1

Cook all of the beans and rinse well. If you are using canned beans, drain well and rinse.

Combine in a mixing bowl. Add onion, corn and cilantro, mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine dressing ingredients and mix well. Add dressing to taste. The salad will absorb a lot of the dressing, so you may not want to add it all at once. Mix well, cover and chill overnight. Taste and add extra dressing if desired.
