Southwest Jalapeño Bean Salad

recipesalad

I saw this on a YouTube short on the @emseats channel. She just calls it southwest bean salad, but it has jalapeños in it, so I added that to the title because I think it sounds more interesting.

It's pretty easy to make, nutritious, and delicious with tortilla chips. This is the best way I've found to eat vegetables!

Ingredients

  • 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed
  • 15 ounce can great northern beans, rinsed
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup diced orange bell pepper
  • 15 ounce can corn, drained
  • 1 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup diced tomato
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 diced avocado
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili lime seasoning
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp lime pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Mix ingredients for the dressing.

Add all the other ingredients to a large bowl.

Add dressing and mix well.

Notes

I use Mezzetta Sliced Tamed Jalapeño peppers (medium heat). These are actually a hybrid of jalapeño peppers and bell peppers. They are pretty mild, especially mixed in with all the other ingredients.
