We can’t get enough of these summer salads! When the weather turns too hot to stand in front of the stove, that’s when we turn to our noble bean and our trusted dressings. This Southwest Rainbow Bean Salad is particularly fun because of the chili-lime dressing, which combines fresh lime juice with hot pepper jelly and chili powder for a nice spicy, yet citrusy, touch. This will sit for a couple hours in the fridge, so it’s best to pre-plan this one if you’re making it for a dinner or event.
