I CUSTOMIZED MY ATTEMPT TO MAKE THIS QUICK BEAN SALAD. I didn't dice the grape tomatoes in mine and I think if I do this again I will dice a large tomato so the tomato flavor is all around the salad. I added arugula and chick peas as well. OOPS...I forgot the onion. That would have added some extra taste. The salad was okay and I had seconds. I guess, you just have to make some and try it. I thought the flavor was alright, but I didn't like the water chestnuts at all. I think these should have been chilled.

First attempt at Quick Black Bean Salad.
Arugula.
Rinsed Water Chestnuts.
Rinsed Black Beans.
Getting started mixing ingredients.
Grape Tomatoes.
Rinsed Chickpeas.
Canned corn. Frozen probably would have been tastier.
Cilantro. I have never used so much cilantro in a salad before.
I added LIME JUICE, lemon zest and Balsamic Vinegar for zing.
Whaalah. Quick Black Bean Salad that was not quick for me to make.
There was enough left over that I can have another salad for LUNCH. That will be quick.
