Black and Cannellini Beans Salad

This Black and Cannellini Bean Salad is a really nice side to any dish.  Eat it alone or with your favorite protein. The combination of the beans with the grilled corn and grilled veggies is very flavorful.  

This is my favorite bean salad, it's just delicious!!

I grilled the corn and the veggies on a stove top grill, so even in the winter you are able to put this salad together and enjoy it.
