šæ Bringing a Bean Salad to a potluck doesnāt have to be weird. Try this jazzed up version āChipotle Bean Saladā It looks good and tastes good!šæ
1 can each of rinsed black beans and pinto beans (any kind of bean will work): beans are high in fibre and low glycemic and offer some protein
1 cup cooked corn-off-the cob (or 1 can drained) corn doesnāt offer much but when paired with beans creates a ācomplete proteinā
1/2 cup packed, finely chopped cilantro : (you either love it or you hate it) great for heavy metal detoxification and high in vitamin K)
2 cloves minced garlic: (antibacterial, anti-fungal and heart healthy)
2 peppers (red, yellow or green) chopped: (higher in vitamin C than orange juice)
1/2 cucumber or 1 stalk of celery finely chopped (mostly water)
1 red onion finely chopped (high in antioxidants like quercetin and anthocyanins, heart healthy and rich in prebiotics)
2 pickles chopped finely (truly fermented pickles are great for gut health)
Juice of 1/2 a lemon (high in vitamin C and can help prevent kidney stone formation)
1/4 cup of olive oil (lowers LDL cholesterol and can protect blood vessels from damage)
4 heaping Tbsp Hellmanās mayonnaise : (not healthy but tastes amazing!)
6 dashes of Frankās Red Hot Sauce: (capsaicin helps fight inflammation)
Salt and Pepper to taste
