my version has the following changes to the above...
2 cans of 3 or 4 bean mix (approx 400gm), which usually have red kidney,
lima, chick peas (garbanzo) and cannelini beans
1 can sweet corn kernels, drained
1/2 red capsicum, chopped finely
EVOO
fresh squeezed lemon juice, to taste (I like mine a tad lemony)
tiny amount crushed garlic
salt & pepper to taste (depending on mood, will use garlic salt or "normal"
salt, white ground pepper, black ground pepper)
NO rosemary
NO vinegar
NO sugar
cheers!
