All you have to do:

Soak the beans and chickpeas separately for a minimum of 5 hours or overnight, changing the water from time to time. Rinse, add to small pot, cover with water and cook over a medium heat until beans and chickpeas are soft. Let cool.

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.

Place the drained orzo pasta in a large salad bowl, and fold in the red pepper, yellow pepper, spring onions, red onion, chickpeas, red kidney beans, black beans, corn, coriander leaves, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the lime juice and oil over the salad, toss to coat, and refrigerate at least 2 hours to chill before serving.
