Bean Salad Recipe


I love to make bean salad in the summer. It is so fresh and it's served cold, so it's perfect on hot days. I also love being able to make it ahead and just have it ready whenever we want something healthy for lunch.

I just made my bean salad for dinner the other night. We had it with grilled chicken and grilled corn on the cob. It was the perfect combination!

  • 2 chopped plum tomatoes

It doesn't get much easier!! Enjoy.

If you try this recipe, come back and let me know how it was. And if you add or change some ingredients, I'd love to hear about that too!

    Looks and sounds yummy! I will have to try it! We like a k
    Lot of Mexican food here and the combo of black beans and corn is perfect as a side dish for Mexican food.
