FIESTA CALIENTE BEAN SALAD



Fiesta Caliente Bean Salad image

A while back there was a supermarket adjacent to my job that had a bean salad that was out of this world that was served as part of their salad bar. I used to get it all the time for lunch. I've been trying to find a recipe like it but none of the recipes that I tried came close until I decided to wing it on my own. So this salad is a clone-like brother to the salad I was so fond of. It pares well with many meats and fish and is a great scooping condiment for tortilla chips. I hope you and yours love it as much as we do!
