Rice and beans are always the answer to serve a big crowd at your next picnic, pot-luck or summer gathering! Bonus: it keeps your budget in check. For off-the-charts flavour, prep this in advance to let all the flavours have a chance to blend.
DRESSING
SALAD
Toppings (optional): chopped cilantro
- In Round Steamer, combine rice and water. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 15 min or until tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare dressing. Zest lime, you should have about 1 tsp. Place in small bowl. Slice lime in half. Using 2-in-1 Citrus Press, squeeze in juice. Add oil, seasoning, mustard, and sugar. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Drain and rinse beans. Dice peppers, tomato, and onion. If using, slice jalapeño in half, discard seeds; mince.
- Once rice is cooked, gently fluff with a fork. Fold in beans and veggies. Add topping, if desired. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
No Epicure Steamer? No problem! Simply prepare rice on the stovetop. Then, combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl.
