How to Make Bean And Corn Salad

  1. Drain one (15-ounce) can of cannellini beans and one (15-ounce) can of whole kernel corn. Rinse under cold water and set aside.
  2. While beans and corn drain, prepare the dressing: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine the drained beans and corn.
  4. Pour the dressing over the beans and corn; toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper and 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions. Toss again to combine.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
