Cool Beans Salad

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min. YIELD: 6 servings.
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 adds a unique flavor and the dressing gives it a bit of a tang. —Janelle Lee, Appleton, Wisconsin
