Ingredients
- Salad:
- 5 cups cooked rice, warm or at room temperature (white, brown, wild rice or a combination!)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 (15-oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15-oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups cooked, cubed chicken
- 1 (12-oz.) can corn, drained
- 4 green onions, chopped
- Dressing:
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 2/3 cup canola oil
- 4 pickled jalepeno pepper rounds (found in the glass jars next to the olives, usually)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Note: this salad is so adaptable. I’ve added 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, subbed red onions for the green, doubled the dressing (just because!), and my favorite variation was made with a combination of wild and brown rice.
Preparation
Step 1
Combine all of the salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Combine dressing ingredients in blender until peppers are finely minced. Toss with salad. Serve warm or at room temperature.
