Instructions
Drain and rinse the 5 cans of beans and the corn.
In an extra large mixing bowl, toss together the beans, corn, red onion, bell pepper and celery.
In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved. Slowly whisk in the olive oil.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly. Stir in cilantro. Enjoy right away or for best results, refrigerate in an airtight container for at least 4 hours. Toss again just before serving.
5 Bean Salad will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator as vinegar is a natural preservative.
