This is a really quick and easy bean salad that my mother invented. You can use the beans listed or substitute your favorite variety.

Ingredients:

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can small red beans

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can kidney beans

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can garbanzo beans

2 roma tomatoes, halved and sliced

1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced

1/2 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped

1 small can diced green chili peppers (such as ortega)

1 large lime, juiced

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

salt and pepper, to taste

*you can substitute black beans for either the red or kidney beans

Directions:

1. Drain and rinse the beans. Put in a large bowl; add all the remaining ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate for a couple of hours at least, best if left overnight. Garnish with tomato wedges, if desired.
