Summer Bean Salad

• 1 19oz can black beans, rinsed
• 1 19oz can kidney beans, rinsed
• 1 19oz can chick peas, rinsed
• 1/2 lg red pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1/2 lg green pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 small can corn niblets
• 1/4 cup onion, finally chopped
• 1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
• Dressing:
• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• pinch freshly ground pepper
• 1.5 tablespoon orange flower water
• 2 tsp lavender buds, if available (I get them directly out of my garden) or 2 tsp herbs de Provence, if available.
• Note: these last two ingredients aren't critical to the flavour but they do add an exotic touch.

1. Drain and rinse beans and corn and place in large bowl.
2. Add peppers and onion.
3. Combine dressing ingredients and toss with bean mixture.
4. Add crumbled Feta just before serving (if it is combined too far in advance the cheese will absorb the balsamic vinegar: brownish Feta isn't that appetizing!)
