If you need a quick side dish for dinner, a picnic, or potluck, run to the pantry and pull out three cans of beans and an onion and bell pepper! This bean salad is super quick, easy and very yummy! Everyone who tries it seems to be very surprised how much they love it. (Makes me laugh... why are they so skeptical??) And if you have leftovers, eat this salad with some tortilla chips or toss with some lettuce and make a taco salad!
THREE BEAN SALAD
Grab three cans of bean from your pantry. Cannellini, Pinto, and Black Beans.
Drain and rinse the beans and dump into a bowl.
Chop a small onion and half a bell pepper.
A little Cayenne pepper for some heat. (Careful...this stuff can get hot real fast!)
A little Paprika and Chili powder.
Garlic powder of course.
Some Black Pepper and just a tiny pinch of Salt. (The beans are already salted. Be careful not to overdo the salt!)
And here is the kicker cheat ingredient... Italian Dressing! (I know! Can this be more easy?)
Gently mix everything together.
And THAT'S IT!
I told you this was easy and YUMMY!
