Sweet and Tangy Chilled Bean Salad

For the past couple of weeks my apartment has been the welcome venue for pleasant gatherings. Every Sunday we seem to have friends passing through town, or coming for a visit. So, every Sunday we've felt the need to entertain. I think with a few more this weekly get together will become a tradition.

With that in mind, I will start the new Sunday posts on Good Lookin' Cookin' specializing in something brought/made from our Sunday dinners.

This week I'm going to focus on something I contributed to a potluck dinner a few weeks ago that seemed to get tastier all through the evening.

Sweet and Tangy Chilled Bean Salad.

Ingredients:

1 16-ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 8-ounce can of pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 8-ounce can of garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
4 seeded and chopped large tomatoes
1 cup finely chopped red onion
1 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
4 tbs fresh lime juice
1 tbs olive oil
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp ground cumin

Directions:

Combine all the ingredients into a bowl as you prepare them. Mix, cover and set in the frig for up to an hour. Keeps for 1 day (and it gets better and better as it marinates in the frig. I recommend making this a few hours before your guests arrive.)
