This colourful salad combines two types of beans with sweet corn, crunchy celery, red pepper and red onion. A simple dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and ground cumin brings everything together. Chopped fresh cilantro and jalapeño chillies add a fresh, spicy kick. The salad benefits from resting for at least 1 hour before serving, allowing the flavours to meld beautifully. It's an ideal make-ahead dish for a crowd.
