This is a corruption of another salad that has 4 varieties of beans in it. When I don't want to make enough for a crowd, I use this version. It's pretty healthy and is full of good carbs (especially if you skip the corn). Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained |
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained (chick peas) |
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed |
3/4 cup sweet red pepper |
3/4 cup sweet onion |
3/4 cup celery |
1/2 cup carrot |
1/2 cup salsa, thick and chunky variety |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, grated |
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped fine |
5 drops hot pepper sauce |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Mix together drained beans and thawed corn.
2. Chop red pepper, onion, celery and carrot and add to bean mixture.
3. Add rest of ingredients, stir to mix.
4. Chill for two hours or more before serving.
5. (Hot pepper sauce and salt can be adjusted to taste.).
6. (Cooking time is chilling time.).
7. ( Heat of salsa is up to you.).
