I found this Mexican Bean Salad on Allrecipes a few years back and it has been a summer staple ever since. Do a little chopping, whisk up the dressing ingredients, toss everything together, and you've got yourself a refreshing summer salad. [Don't mind the crappy picture quality. It really is a gorgeous array of colors!]
