Summer Bean Salad II

Once again out of consideration for Hubs' sensitive innards, I switched celery for the corn. Normally I rate recipes higher than he does but on this occasion that was reversed. He found this a lot more palatable than I did. As for me, I didn't think it all that enhanced from the regular ol' can of beans. Also, I didn't care for the lime juice here and would have preferred lemon. Extra vegetables would have been nice for flavor and interest as well as some seasoning - fresh herbs maybe, garlic salt or fresh garlic. An okay starting point, but that's about it, at least for me.

Didn't have light read beans, so I used dark kidney beans. Added a little more corn than called for and a can of "italian" diced tomatoes with some fresh cherry tomatoes. I thought the salad was great. I needed a lot of salt and pepper for my taste and my husband thought the onion was a little too much, but my 11 month old ate it up, my 5 year old picked around the tomatoes, but liked the rest. Great flavors!

Very good and beautiful too. I loved the lime in this. I used pinto beans because I dislike kidney beans (I bet the white would be good though). I used a garlic clove instead of an onion. Also just needed 1/2 TBS. of oil.
