bean salad?

Does anybody have a bean salad recipe? Jason's Deli has one that I LOVE on the salad bar, although I'm sure it's not too healthy. Any suggestions??

this is one of my favorites, but usually I do it and switch up the lime vinegrette for a Eating Right - Roasted Sweet Pepper & Garlic Vinaigrette Dressing to reduce the overall calories and fat but lose none of the taste

1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 (15.25 ounce) can corn, drained
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cilantro
1 (15 ounce) can BUSH'S® BEST Black Beans, rinsed and drained
Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon lime juice

with the dressing in the recipe it is 6 servings.... Amount Per Serving: Calories: 393, Total Fat: 19.4g, Cholesterol: 0mg, Sodium: 657mg, Total Carbs: 52g, Dietary Fiber: 8.5g, Protein: 8.9g

of course, if you cut out the oil and substitute the dressing you can refigure it.

This one is really good with no dressing at all:
