    Black beans, garbanzo beans, and white beans make up this salad that's perfect as a side dish, dip, or topping.

    This is so quick & easy and is a great side dish. It's Mexican inspired but certainly doesn't have to be served with Mexican food.

    It's great with some sauteed chicken {seasoned with cumin & chili powder} and some roasted veggies.

    It keeps well in the refrigerator and is a really good topping for scrambled eggs. Or try it as an appetizer/dip with some tortilla chips. Or try it on your salad. Or just eat straight from the bowl; that's my preferred method
