This vegan and gluten-free three beans and corn salad can be served as a main dish (in flatbread or tortilla wrap) or as a side dish with grilled meat. It’s very easy to put together and you can make it ahead of your meal. For this reason it’s an ideal dish at parties or picnics. You can use other types of beans, such kidney beans, butter beans or cannellini beans.
