Ultimate Three-Bean Medley Salad

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups of frozen corn kernels
• ¼ cup of cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons of lime juice
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 ½ teaspoons of ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• ¾ cup of extra-virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup of fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 can (15 ounces) of black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) of butter beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup of finely chopped red onion
• 1 ½ cups of diced red bell pepper

Step 1

Begin by transferring the corn into a microwave-safe dish. Microwave it for 2 to 3 minutes until it's warmed through. Once done, remember to drain any excess liquid and let it cool thoroughly.

Step 2

Next, in a blender, mix together cider vinegar, lime juice, garlic, cumin, Dijon mustard, black pepper, salt, olive oil, and cilantro until you achieve a harmonious blend of flavors.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the now-cooled corn with black beans, butter beans, red onion, and red bell pepper. Pour the flavorful dressing over this delightful mix. For the best results, refrigerate this dish overnight. Remember to allow it to reach room temperature before serving to enhance the flavors.
