Spring and summer are the perfect seasons for making salads because the vegetables are usually fresher and bursting with flavor. I made this Vegan Bean Salad using vegetables like corn, green peppers, red onions, cucumber, artichoke hearts and green olives, to name a few. I combined them with black beans and garbanzo beans, which gave the salad a healthy amount of protein.
