Dottie's Corn, Rice and Bean Salad

This picture's a modified version with white and red kidneys, no corn, parsley. and fancy rice. I also used an EFA rich oil in combination with EVOO to make this guilt-free.

One of the best things to eat in the entire world.


 
What You Need:

  • 2 cups dry brown rice, cooked and still hot (about 5-6 cups cooked) 
  • 1 16oz cans pinto beans (rinsed and drained) 
  • 1 16oz cans black beans (rinsed and drained)  
  • 1 can hominy (rinsed and drained)
  • 3/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/3 cup corn oil
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 4 pickled jalapeno peppers (stemmed, seeded and quartered)
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro (optional)  
 
What You Do:

  1. In a large bowl toss together the cooked rice, beans, corn and green onions.
  2. In a blender or food processor: blend the oil, lime juice, vinegar, sugar, jalapeno peppers, chili powder, cumin and salt.
  3. Add this dressing to the large bowl of stuff and stir to mix.
  4. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
