Serves 4
Active time: 15 min.

The stars of this simple salad are our plump, tender beans. Here, we feature four: black beans, chick peas, green beans and kidney beans. But if your family goes wild for pink beans, or prefers the taste of pintos, no problemo! Simply swap in your favorite variety and enjoy.

1 can (15.5 oz.) GOYA® Chick Peas, drained and rinsed
