Southwest Black Bean, Corn and Rice Salad

Submitted by dishedanddressed

"So many great things about this dish – it’s an easy mix some stuff together kind of recipe, it’s vegan and healthy, it’s delicious, and it doesn’t really require cooking if you get the kind of rice you can just microwave. Oh and it’s versatile too. You can switch up the grains (I used a combination or brown rice and barley), add avocado if you like, use it as a side or a main dish, in tacos or burritos, whatever you want. The recipe makes 2-3 side dish servings but it can easily be doubled for a 4-5 person dinner or for a party."
