Cool Beans Salad

Cool Beans Salad 

 500/600 calorie lunch idea 

Made this salad yesterday morning to take the the Zoo ! 
It turned out great had the leftovers today and guess what it was even better the second day. 
Love this recipe because it requires zero cooking since it's served cold it's perfect to make on the weekends and have for lunch during the week.
Ingredients 
1/2 cup frozen corn 
1 can garbanzo beans 
1 can tri blend beans 
1 can diced tomatoes
1 bell pepper finely chopped
1/2 onion finely chopped 
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp chili powder 
1 tsp garlic salt 
2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
Feta Cheese 

We use the Kroger Simple truth organic canned goods for all of our recipes they are clean and organic. Feel free to use whatever brand you prefer. Drain all the cans the put all the ingredients except for the cheese into the mixing bowl including the frozen corn (nope you don't need to cook it first) mix well cover and put in the fridge it'll be ready in a few hours the longer it sit's the yummier it gets. Add the cheese crumbles just before serving salt and pepper to taste. Makes about 4 cups one cup is about 264 calories, Add an apple and a light Greek yogurt  and you've got a perfect lunch !
