1 can garbanzo beans

1 can black beans

1 can corn

1 avocado, diced

2 red/orange bell peppers, diced very small (same size as the beans/corn)

1-2 tomatoes, diced

2 limes, zest and juice

1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped finely

1/4 red onion, chopped finely

1/4 cup light oil (don’t use olive oil)

salt & pepper to taste

Open the cans of beans; drain them into a colander and rinse lightly – place in large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients (remember to zest the limes BEFORE you squeeze the juice into the salad). Mix and enjoy – very easy, just a lot of chopping involved.

Try serving this with some brown rice for a full protein or as a garnish over pan sauteed fish or chicken. This salad is so versatile and easy to make, you have no excuse not to get on the healthy bean band wagon with this one!
