Cool Beans Salad
This protein-filled dish could be served as a colorful side dish or a meatless main entree. When you make it, double the recipe because it will be gone in a flash! The basmati rice add a unique flavor and the dressing gives it a bit of a tang. —Janelle Lee, Appleton, Wisconsin

Very tasty!
This is an excellent high protein dish. My daughter who recently moved out asked for the recipe. The only thing is the sauce gets soaked in and it can become dry. I fixed that by making a double batch of the sauce and put half in a jar in the fridge. When it started getting a little dry i would add a little more sauce. I have made this several times and it is a winner for my family.
WE enjoyed. Trying to find recipes for myegetarian daughter and we enjoyed this as our meal!
Nice side dish that was enjoyed by all.
A hit with everyone
Have made this many times .Really have enjoyed it .
Very Good. It was gone in a flash.
When I made it I used Mexicorn instead of regular corn and I added another type of bean, I used a can of pintos.... amazing for summer or for somebody eating a bit healthy!!!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this salad! I have made it numerous times this summer and many friends and family have asked for the recipe. The only change that I made was using 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup of oil to cut some calories (doesn't need all that oil). I use about 2 cups of fresh corn, cooked and cut off the cob. It's great eaten just as is, or sometimes I add grated cheddar cheese and cherry tomatoes, halved, and I serve it as a dip with tortilla chips or in a wrap. Flavor improves after chilling for several hours...........even better the next day. Try it you won't be sorry!
I saved this recipe and made it many times! A family favorite!
