List of Ingredients
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
1 jalape�o pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon New Mexican chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin, toasted
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, finely diced
1 carrot, peeled, finely diced
1/4 cup tightly packed fresh cilantro leaves and stems, chopped
2 cups cooked black beans
2 cups cooked white beans, such as Great Northern
Recipe
1. Whisk together the orange juice, lime zest and juice, jalape�o, chili powder, cumin, garlic and salt in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil in a slow, steady stream. Reserve.
2. Toss together both of the bell peppers, the carrot, cilantro, cooked black and white beans and the reserved vinaigrette in a large bowl. Taste and
adjust the seasoning if necessary. The salad is best if you let it sit at room temperature to allow the flavors to blend for a few hours before serving. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Other ways to do it: This salad is delicious to eat by itself. However if you want to serve it the way we do at the White Dog Caf�, sprinkle black pepper over small rounds of fresh ch�vre and bake in a 400-degree F. oven until soft. Serve the warmed cheese over mounds of the bean salad and some mixed lettuce leaves.
