Wonderfully Delicious Bean Salad












Ingredients
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can kidney beans drained
1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 jalapeno, chopped fine
1 small package frozen corn kernels (1 cupish)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons white sugar
(you can omit this to make it 100% slow carb, I cut it down to 1/2 a tbls just to round out the taste of the dressing)
1 tablespoon salt
1 clove crushed garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (I normally put double that amount but I really like cilantro)
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 dash hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Directions
In a large bowl, combine beans, bell peppers and frozen corn.  In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, lemon juice, sugar, salt, garlic, cilantro, cumin, and black pepper. Season to taste with hot sauce and chili powder. Pour olive oil dressing over vegetables; mix well. Chill thoroughly, and serve cold.
