Easy Black Bean Salad

 

This salad is super filling, full of fiber, protein and can be made in a pinch. You can use fresh soaked and cooked beans or the canned ones, just make sure you rinse them well. Please use organic corn, conventional corn will be genetically modified.
I made it for a party the other day and everybody loved it. I have to thank Corina for the recipe, I just tweaked it a little. Go eat your beans!!
