What You’ll Need

• 1 can Garbanzo Beans
• 1 can Black Beans (Crave extra Zest: Try Cuban Style Black beans)
• 1 can Sweet  Corn
• 4-6 Garlic Cloves (minced, to taste)
• A bunch of basil leaves (chopped, to taste, I use 1-2 full bunches of leaves)
• A splash of Red Wine Vinegar (to taste, light coating over entire salad)
• A splash of Olive Oil (to taste, same as the Red Wine Vinegar)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Trader Joe’s Smoked African Spices (optional, to taste)

How TO

• Put the beans and (warmed/microwaved) corn into a strainer and rinse, allowing all liquid to drain
• Put beans, corn, minced garlic, chopped basil leaves into a large bowl
• Add red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt+pepper (any favorite seasoning toppings)
• Mix, and mix well as you add each ingredient
• EAT
• *Chef’s remarks, I like this salad cold, right out of the fridge. And it makes a great side to my paleo big-o bacon burgers, (scroll down mid page for recipe)
• Additional add in: tomatoes, serve over a bed of kale, quinoa, or couscous.
