Ingredients
Scale
- Fresh kernels from two ears of corn (or from one can)
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 orange or yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 stalk celery with leaves, diced
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup fresh green beans, blanched and cut into 1-inch segments
- 1 cup fresh parsley, minced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/4–1/2 teaspoon sambal oalek or any other hot sauce (my mom used to put Tabasco sauce)

Instructions
Mix the corn, bell peppers, celery, red onion, beans, and parsley together in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic, maple syrup and sambal oalek in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix the vinaigrette with the bean salad, according to your taste. I like a very seasoned salad, so I put almost all the vinaigrette. But go with your taste. Bon appétit!
