    This Southwestern Three Bean Salad Will Kick Up Your Cookout

    June 27, 2017 Filed Under: Side Dishes, Vegetable Salads, Vegetables

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This Southwestern Three Bean Salad will add a boost of flavor to just about any meal. Serve it with your summer cookout or even a holiday feast.

    Instead of the traditional garbanzo beans usually found in three bean salad, I added black beans and hominy. And since I was going Southwestern I went all in with a Chipotle Lime Dressing.

    I only added a little Chipotle Chili Pepper at first. You will want to taste it before serving and add salt and pepper as needed just before serving.
