Fiesta Salad


This bean and brown rice based salad is great for a main dish or as a side. My kids eat it happily and we love it too. Vary the number and types of beans as well as the amount of jalapeno to suit different tastes.

Fiesta Salad

Mix the following in a large bowl:
2 cups cooked and cooled brown rice
1 can of corn (frozen corn would work too)
2-3 cans of beans-black, pinto, garbanzo, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup minced onion
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
2 TBS cilantro, chopped

Mix and add dressing:
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 TBS vegetable oil
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt

Stir, mix and serve. This salad is even better after it sits in the fridge for a couple of hours so all of the flavors can combine.
