Bean Salad

This was delicious however there are a few items you have to add to taste...sorry we didn't measure...

1 can Organic Black Beans
1 can Organic Garbanzo Beans
1 can Organic Corn

Dump all into a strainer and rinse off. Let dry for a minute then put into a large bowl.

1 jalapeno pepper diced
1/4 cup of red onion diced
1 Roma tomato diced
1-2 clove of garlic diced tiny (if you like garlic go for 2 cloves)
1/2 a lime
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Add these to the beans and stir

Cilantro (fresh is best and I use a lot of this)
Cumin (like 1 -2 teas, more if you like it spicy)
Pepper
Salt
Garlic salt (just a dash)
White Pepper (if you have it, good without)

The key with adding spices to taste is for you to keep tasting the salad. Start with small amounts and continue to add to the flavor you and your family enjoys. After the first time you will get the amounts down pretty quickly.

This is great for the summer months because you don't need to turn on a stove at all. Delish! Good luck!
