Dalmatian Bean Salad




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1/4 cup fresh orange juice
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
1 jalapeño 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, jalapeño, 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 Café, sprinkle black pepper over small rounds of fresh chèvre 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.
