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. It’s 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. This recipe is zingy and mildly spicy – but if you want it to have a real kick, use fresh jalapeno pepper or add a pinch of cayenne/chilli powder to the dressing.

- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- Juice of ½ lime
