Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (15-oz) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced small
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Drain and rinse the beans until the water runs clear, then set them aside.
  2. Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper until the salt dissolves.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the beans, bell pepper, onion, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over and fold gently to coat.
  4. Toss once more, taste for seasoning, and serve right away or chill until ready to eat.

Notes

Let the salad rest for 10 minutes before serving if you have time. For the best texture, add any avocado or extra fresh herbs just before serving.
