Super-healthy and super-easy bean salad

After learning about the possible health benefits of chickpeas today, I thought I'd share one of my favorite, easy salads. This bean salad contains lots of chickpeas, is super-easy to make, and ridiculously healthy. There's no oil, but that's okay because the fresh ingredients offer all the flavor you need.

To make the salad, just combine drained cans of chickpeas, black beans, and corn nibblets in a bowl, add some diced veggies like celery and red onion, and then mix in a lot of chopped fresh dill and the juice of 3 limes and 1 lemon. Mix it together and serve. It's perfect for eating right away, and also travels well if you want to take it to a party, or on a last-minute picnic before winter.

My apologies on the blurry photo. It's the only one I have of the salad.
