LIME CILANTRO BEAN SALAD

I'm trying hard to make healthy choices.  This salad is a great way to get your protein in through the beans and not by animal intake.  You should try to get some form of protein in every meal.  This is a good dish to make on a Sunday so that you can put it in small containers to take to work.  Please leave out the red onion though, your office mates will appreciate that!




1 red pepper, diced
1 yellow pepper, diced
1 orange pepper, diced
1 green pepper, diced (if you like them)
½ red onion, diced (optional)
½ cup cilantro, chopped
1 lime 
¼ cup olive oil
1-15.5 oz can of black beans
1-15.5 oz can of garbanzo beans or any white bean
1-15.5 oz can corn
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Add diced peppers, onions (if you are using them), and cilantro into a large bowl.  Add juice of lime and olive oil.  Mix together.  Put your beans in a strainer to rinse then add all beans and corn to bowl.  Stir, add salt and pepper to taste.
