Yummy, yummy, yummy salad with black beans, rice, corn and other good stuff. Its' a good idea to prepare the rice and barley ahead of time that way you can just throw the salad together.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I like to make it the night before and then it's ready to go for lunch or dinner the next day.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beans. I always have a can or two of beans in my pantry, so it's easy to whip up this salad when I need a quick and healthy meal.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the combination of flavors and textures. I especially liked the crunch of the celery and the sweetness of the grapes.
