Okay, this is not my recipe and not a single serving. I use the Kraft Cuban Bean Salad recipe and just cut the dressing in half. They make too much dressing and it’s a bit oily with all the olive oil. By cutting the sauce in half, I get a tasty salad that is not overdressed.
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 fresh jalapeño pepper, seeded, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp. dried oregano leaves
- 1-1/2 cups chopped Dill Pickles
- 1 can (15 oz.) black beans, drained, rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz.) pinto beans, drained, rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz.) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed
- 1 stalk celery, sliced
- 1/2 red pepper, cut into 2-inch strips
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tomato, chopped
Mix oil, cilantro, lemon juice, vinegar, cumin, jalapeno pepper and oregano in large bowl until well blended. Add the other ingredients, stir and refrigerate. You can serve in a couple hours, but it gets better and better. Makes about 3 pounds of salad. You can double the beans and still have a tasty salad.
