Black Bean, Corn, and Edamame Salad

This recipe is originally from Central Market, but it is so amazing, I absolutely must feature it! Packed with protein and fiber, this salad is a healthy and delicious alternative to the usual, fatty summer salads that show up at barbeques. Here, I have paired it with my oven-fried chicken which makes a fabulous cold lunch for the next day.

Ingredients

2 cups frozen, shelled edamame, thawed
2 cups frozen sweet corn, thawed
1—15oz. can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
¼ cup diced sweet red onion
2 ripe tomatoes (pref. on the vine), diced
⅓ cup Garlic Expressions® salad dressing
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Serve at just above room temperature for optimum flavor.
