This is an adaptation of several bean recipes from different sources. It is best after leaving overnight for the flavors to meld. Serve at room temperature.
I made this for dinner tonight, but just took a taste. After marinating over night, the flavors are really well melded! I made one big mistake and realized that my can of black beans was really a can of dark kidney beans. The dish still came out really well, though next time I'll be making it with the black beans (which are my favorite!) For a little more flavor, I'll add a diced jalapeno as well. My only complaint is the amount of sauce! So much as just sitting at the bottom, so next time I will reduce that not quite by half. Thanks for the great cold, NO COOK bean salad!
Read MoreI made this 24 hrs ago. The dressing is very light and the flavor blends well with the vegetables. I just didn't think it had enough flavor because it is very mild. I don't know if I will make this again as I think it definitely needed another flavor and I am not sure what yet. I had plenty of dressing, actually just right. If you are looking for something with more spice, this isn't the recipe for you, but if you like a very mild subtle flavor, this is it.

Very easy and tasty! I made as written and found nothing needs changing. I found the salad yields more than 8 servings plus lots of dressing. Next time I will add some chopped celery as a personal preference and perhaps extra beans and/or corn for a better dressing/bean ratio.
