Corn and Bean Salad

My kids like this salad because they can pick out the ingredients they don't like. I like it because it tastes surprisingly refreshing on a hot summer day. 

Salad:
1 can black beans
1 can garbanzo beans
1 can kidney beans
2 cups frozen corn (cooked and cooled)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup red onion, chopped

Vinaigrette:
2 Tbs lemon or lime juice
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

  1. Rinse beans really well in cold water.
  2. Add corn, cilantro/parsley and red onions.
  3. Combine cumin, salt, sugar and pepper in red wine vinegar and lemon/lime juice. Whisk in olive oil.
  4. Toss vinaigrette and bean mixture. Chill.
  5. Bring to room temp before serving -- it really does taste better when it's not cold.
