Red, White and Blue Bean Salad

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cans of white kidney or cannelllini beans

• 3/4 cup of strawberries (chopped)

• 3/4 cup of blueberries

• 3/4 cup of jicama (chopped)

• 1/2 cup chopped red onion

• 1 jalapeño, chopped

• cilantro for garnish

• Optional: crumbled goat cheese

Dressing:

• 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar (rice wine vinegar is good too)

• 1-2 tsp dark maple syrup

• 1 Tbsp chopped cilantro

• salt & pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.  Drizzle desired amount of dressing over salad about an hour or so before serving to allow the flavors to soak into the beans.  

NOTES:

• If you don't have jicama you can substitute cucumbers.  You won't need all of the dressing for this salad.  Pour desired amount on this dish and save the rest for a salad on another day!  

• Did you know that jicama is an excellent source of fiber and vitamin C plus it has a low glycemic index?
