Have you ever seen Mexican jumping beans? They're amazing! And so is this salad, so wait till you see it practically jump out of the bowl onto people's plates. I bet that'll have you jumping for joy!
What You'll Need
- 3 cup cold cooked white rice
- 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans (chick peas), rinsed and drained
- 2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas, thawed and drained
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 medium-sized red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2/3 cup Garlic Garlic Dressing or bottled Italian dressing
What to Do
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the dressing.
- Add the dressing and toss gently to coat well.
- Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or until ready to serve.
Notes
I like to make this salad the night before I plan to serve it so that the dressing flavors can really penetrate the rice and beans.
