Red beans Sweet corn Salad

Again this one is easy, nutritious, very  kid friendly recipe. This salad can be a great side dish too and also can be used as fillings for wraps. I usually prepare this salad for evening. As a pre preparation soaking of Rajma for minimum of 6-7 hrs is required and pressure cook until very soft and tender, rest is as simple as adding remaining ingredients in a large bowl, mix well and you are done.
