Don’t you just love it when you can be creative with leftovers? You open the refrigerator door, scan the shelves, pull out some leftover steak and if you’re lucky, you create a magnificent bean salad like this one.

Chances are, you can put this entire recipe together with items you already have in your fridge. The lime and garlic dressing packs a big burst of flavor, and pairs well with tender spinach. We’ve used jasmine rice to add substance and texture to this recipe, but it would also work well with leftover quinoa or wild rice.

Sometimes our favorite meals come together by accident (well, almost by accident- you’ve probably noticed we have a thing for beans), and this is one of our favorite happy accidents.
