Yummy Bean Salad

If you love bean salads this is a must to try. It is very colorful and flavorful! Every time I make this salad it disappears quickly. It is very healthy and it is a very inexpensive, easy salad to make. This is a great salad to bring to a family get together or a church pot luck. If it is a large gathering of people, I would definitely recommend doubling or even tripling this recipe. This is also a gluten free recipe so if you have a sensitivity to gluten you can eat this without worry. Using a medium or hot salsa will also change up the flavor, but make sure everyone you are offering it to likes spicy!

Beans and tomato


What you will need:
1 can of Kroger Kidney Beans
1 can of Kroger Black Beans
1 can of Kroger Garbanzo Beans
1 can of Kroger Whole Kernel Corn
1 cup of chopped celery
1 cup of chopped sweet onion
1 cup of Kroger Mild Chunky Salsa or your favorite salsa
¼ cup of lime juice
½ tsp of cumin
1 tsp of chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
How to make it:
Drain all canned items and rinse well. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. I recommend refrigerating this salad over night in order to let all the flavors blend. You will want to serve this chilled. Obviously you do not have to use Kroger brand for everything, but I recommend it. It is very inexpensive and tastes just as good as the name brand.
