Method
1. Firstly, prepare the dressing. Add the cider vinegar, passata, tomato puree, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, smoked paprika, chilli powder, chipotle paste, vegetable stock powder and salt into a small blender attachment/NutriBullet, and blend until smooth. Then, set it aside for later.
2. Next, chop the red pepper, orange/yellow pepper, and cucumber into small/bite-sized cubes/chunks, chop the tomatoes in half, and add them into a large salad bowl. Then, drain the sweet corn, black beans and kidney beans from their tins and rinse them thoroughly, before also adding them into the salad bowl.
3. Now, pour the dressing on top of the salad, and stir it in until well mixed and all of the vegetables are evenly covered. Then when this is done, serve.
