       2  16 oz. can kidney or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
        2 cup frozen corn, thawed
       3/4 cup each green and red sweet pepper, chopped
       2 cup tomato, chopped
      1 medium red onion, chopped
       1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped (optional)
       6 Tbsp cider (or other) vinegar

    Combine all the vegetables in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, chili powder, sugar and salt (if using it). Pour over the vegetable mixture. Cover and chill for at least a half hour so the flavors will blend. Can be refrigerated for 1-2 days ahead if desired. Stir before serving.  Easily increased, but be careful not to double the hot pepper.
