5 Bean Salad - Plant Based


It's 42 degrees and I'm out of greens, so, 5 bean salad it is!

INGREDIENTS
Can of 5 bean mix or beans of choice, drained and rinsed
1c of frozen corn- rinsed under hot water for 1 minute
4 of each : pitted black, kalamata and green olives, finely diced
3-6 sun dried tomatoes, finely chopped
big handful of parsley, finely chopped
big handful of chives, finely chopped
1 small dill gherkin, finely diced
Optional - handful of nuts or seeds for texture
Optional - Lemon zest, fresh cherry tomatoes and cucumber diced finely, a shredded carrot, 1/2c green peas, and half a red onion for "the rainbow" bean salad look. Can even add some tofu feta. It's a very flexible recipe!

Chop all ingredients and combine in a bowl and mix well.
