The traditional three bean salad consists of green and yellow beans, plus some red beans and garbanzo beans. Chickpeas (aka garbanzos) are actually \"pulses\" not beans; so the name actually is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of the garbanzo beans and yellow beans I added black beans and hominy. And threw in some fresh red bell pepper for color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And since I was going Southwestern I went all in with a homemade Chipotle Lime Dressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don't get me started on bottled salad dressing! Short version, homemade is easy and BETTER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients for Southwestern Three Bean Salad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the decades, the original salad has become a \"dump some canned goods in a bowl and add bottled dressing\" concoction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, I chose to keep the fresh flavors of summer with fresh green beans. It only takes a few extra minutes, but the extra crunch and taste is worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
