I really liked this salad. I whizzed the dressing with a stick blender so it was well blended and used a little less oil and more lime juice. I added about 3/4 cup red bell pepper too. I will make this often and experiment with other veggies.
Black Bean, Rice, and Veggie Salad
Lara Hata
Becca Steinkamp gives her mother credit for this vegetable-loaded rice-and-bean salad, which she calls "ensalada de colores." On warm summer evenings, she doubles the recipe to feed a crowd without heating up the kitchen. You can also make the salad up to 1 day ahead of time; chill airtight.
Yield: Makes 5 cups; 4 or 5 servings
