It really doesn’t get any easier than this! A simple bean salad with zip and zing! Also great as a dip- especially those “scoop” chips. They really hold all the goodies well!
There’s a few spices in this recipe, which are available in the Mexican Spice Kit. It really makes everything easy to have all your spices in a handy little box, properly labeled, which means no fumbling around looking for them. I recently took this to a small wedding reception that was held at someone’s house and it was gobbled right up. Be sure to add an avocado (or 2) if you want. I do that often although it’s not pictured.
Hope you guys enjoy!
