Spiced tomato, corn and kidney beans salad
Background
This vegan spiced tomato, corn and kidney beans salad is a perfect dish for BBQs, parties and picnics or it can be used as a side dish or in a flatbread/wrap as a filling. Itβs also rather healthy and nutritious! You can use pre-grilled corn for the recipe or even tinned corn, which you can quickly fry or grill until slightly caramelised.
