corn and black bean salad: the one j-bean loves

Purple onions and cans of black beans are pretty hard to come by in Japan, but when I can find them, this is a versatile side dish/salad that three out of four of us love.

You'll need:

• a can of corn, drained
• a can of black beans, drained
• cilantro (coriander leaves), chopped
• rice vinegar (or regular white vinegar)
• olive oil
• salt and pepper
• sweet red pepper, chopped
• purple onion, chopped

Do this:

Mix it all together and chill in the fridge for a bit for all the flavors to meld.
