    Add remaining ingredients & blend all together.
    Marinate for at least 2 hours preferable in fridge or also good at room temperature.
    Serve & enjoy.
    Notes:
    I use \"low sodium\" vegetables when possible. Cut out spices & use plain tomatoes if you want a more mild flavored Bean Salad.
    Variations: Make into complete meals.
    Taco Salad: add 26 ounces (2, 13 oz cans) chicken breast, 1 TB cumin, 1 ts black pepper, put on tortilla chips.
    Baked Potato Bar: use as a topping.
    Casserole Style: use the drained vegetable juices to cook long grain white rice in & serve bean salad on top with a cheese sauce.
