Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, canned
- 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, canned
- 1 can (15 ounces) sweet corn, canned
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion

Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans, kidney beans, and sweet corn. Set aside to fully drain.
Dice the red bell pepper into small, uniform pieces. Dice the red onion finely.
Chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, kidney beans, sweet corn, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the bean and corn mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to evenly coat all the ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with a little more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, though it can be served immediately if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish or light entree. Enjoy!
