With summer right around the corner I've been looking for good recipes to make that are easy, healthy and delicious. Today I made what I call Ruth's Rainbow Bean Salad. The best part is that I didn't even have to go to the store but had all the ingredients on hand. I love it when that happens!
Start by rinsing and draining 3 cans of beans. I used Pinto beans, Southern Style Blackeye Peas, and Black Beans. Place in a large bowl. Chop up some purple cabbage, shredded carrots, one red bell pepper, half an onion and some fresh parsley. Add some roasted red peppers chopped. Mix it all together.
For the dressing I used seasoned rice vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, cumin, black pepper, roasted garlic powder and salt. Mix it all up and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour so the flavors all meld together. Serve as a side to any summer meal.
