Anyone have an easy, but good recipe for bean salad?

For lunch I often mix:
Red or white beans
Frozen Trader Joe’s “soycutash” (soybeans, corn and red peppers)
Tomato slices or cherry tomatos
Baby carrots
Vinaigrette dressing

I take it to work and the frozen stuff has defrosted by lunchtime. Mmm mmm good cold salad.

If you froze or refrigerated a big salad like that it be fine after a couple of days without power.

I also add whatever I have on hand usually for example:
Chopped fresh spinach
Fresh banana peppers
Leftovers (tuna steak is my favorite)
Sliced hard boiled egg (fresh eggs do not need refrigeration, handy tip for power outages)

Proportions as you wish. Can be shrunk or expanded at will and will keep, nicely, for several days. Best if aged at least a few hours before eating.

Black beans (I used cans but feel free to be a purist and soak and cook raw beans) rinse
Navy beans (ditto)
Corn nibllets
Diced red and yellow peppers.
Very finely diced red onion.

Vinaigrette

½ fresh lime juice, ½ cider vinegar (1 T. each and thus 6 T oil)
3 times that amount of EVOO
Lots of fresh chopped cilantro
A little dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish with chopped cilantro

^^^Celery, cukes, carrots…no rules.. Even the littlest kids love this.

Third or fourth day without refrigeration:
1 can each; red beans, green beans, garbanzo beans, pinto beans, corn, diced tomatoes served with whole grain bread and hummus or peanut butter.
