    METHOD

    To make the salad, quarter the peppers and remove the seeds before chopping into bite-sized pieces. Remove the core and seeds from the tomatoes, then cut into small cubes. The onion should be peeled and finely chopped. Finely chop the chives. Drain the sweetcorn and beans in a colander, then rinse with cold water and drain. In a mixing bowl, carefully combine all of the prepared ingredients.

    To make the dressing, whisk together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

    Tortilla chips and guacamole complement this perfectly.
