Instructions

  • Start by draining each of the cans of beans and corn well. Allow the water to drain before adding them to this recipe.
  • In a large bowl, combine the beans, corn, bell pepper and onion. Toss the ingredients to mix.
  • Next, in a separate bowl, to make the marinade, whisk together the vinegar, oil, sugar (or alternative) and seasonings. Then pour half of this over the beans and corn in the first bowl. Toss the ingredients well and then add the remaining marinade and toss until the ingredients are well covered.

Recipe Notes

I mentioned that the secret to making a good bean salad such as this one is in the balance of that goes into marinade. For best results, the oil and vinegar should be in equal parts.
While this salad is all about the beans, feel free to add other ingredients to make your salad even better.
You could add cooked pasta, chopped broccoli, or chopped celery. Please keep in mind that you may need to make adjustments in your marinade if you decide to do so.
