Three Bean Salad

This salad is so full of flavor. We served it as a dip with tortilla chips. But it  would be great served over chopped lettuce or in a wrap. I made this to take to Anna's for a get together yesterday and everyone loved it. If you can get low sodium or no sodium canned goods then use those.

Salad Ingredients:

• 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 12 ounce package frozen corn kernels
• 1 red onion, chopped (my onion was pretty big so I used half)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Prepare all the ingredients for the salad placing them in a large bowl. I love all of these colors.

Mix the ingredients well.

Dressing Ingredients

• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar (I used organic with the mother)
• 1 lime, juiced
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 clove garlic, crushed then chopped
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Put all the dressing ingredients in a pint mason jar.

Shake it really well. Then dump it in the bowl with the salad ingredients.

Then dump it in the bowl with the salad ingredients. Give it all a good toss. Let it sit for and hour or two before serving for the flavors to marry.
