Spicy Southwestern Bean Salad

Sometimes I just get so tired of the same old side dishes like rice or potatoes. So, I was looking for something different when I came across this cold salad recipe at Kalyn’s Kitchen.

It had everything that I like in it but I had to do a bit of convincing on my husband’s end. But he finally agreed to give it a try.

I did a bit of adjusting from the original recipe to suit more of what I had on hand and it turned out really good. It does have a bit of a kick to it so if you don’t like spicy, you may want to adjust the spice amounts a bit.

I served this bean salad with ground turkey tacos and I was surprised to see my hubby putting it right inside of his. Surprisingly he liked this quite a bit so it was another successful venture in getting him to eat new things.

I will make this one again, it seams to go well with a lot of different things.  Maybe next time I’ll make it when we’re grilling.
