Vegan, vegetarian and very delicious, everything about this summertime salad is simply good! Don’t let the words “vegan” and “vegetarian” fool you, this Tex-Mex-inspired recipe is bursting with flavor, and in my opinion, even better tasting than its traditional counterpart.
Loaded with a colorful assortment of kidney beans, black beans, chickpeas, roasted baby Yukon gold potatoes, Midwest grown bell peppers, red onion and a cilantro-lime vinaigrette that is out-of-this-world delicious, one bowl simply won’t be enough!
Volunteer to bring this summer salad to all of your outdoor get-together’s and watch everyone indulge without ever realizing it’s actually good for them!
