Healthy Pinto Bean Salad. Lately, we have been trying to eat from our pantry to save money. I had lots of pinto beans to use up and that is how this salad came to life.
I love this salad because it literally takes only a few minutes to whip up. It’s great for end of summer parties or any other gatherings. This healthy salad is vegan, gluten free and oil free!
Mexican Pinto Beans. This recipe is super easy, tasty and healthy! You can literally whip it up on a few minutes.
It’s also vegan, gluten free and budget friendly!
We cooked the beans ahead of time in the Instant Pot. If you don’t own one already, I highly suggest it! It makes cooking beans so much faster. No soaking or boiling! Life changing my friends!
I love okra, but sadly I am alone in my love of this vegetable. I included okra in this Pinto Beans and Rice dish to feed my craving. Not only is this simple to make, it comes with a bit of heat, which I also love. And while I know I don’t post much, choosing to mainly work behind the scenes of MyWholeFoodLife, I do plan on posting more of my creations in the future. Melissa and I are a great team, and we want to show everyone just how much we collaborate. Some of my other recipes are Eggplant Pasta, Mexican Quinoa and Squash Apple Soup. Enough about me, onto to the dish.
This recipe is great for lunch. If you don’t like heat, green bell peppers would sub well. On the flip side, use jalapeños if you are looking for something a bit more spicy. This is a pretty versatile dish that I hope you love as much as I did.
