Pinta Bean Salad

Named after our pooch Pinta, this recipe is more about ratios that exact ingredients. Choose your own grains, beans, vegetable, cheese, and of course, Eric's Nopales.

Pinta Bean Salad can be served warm or cold, by itself or topped with a protein. We make it in big batches for healthy weekday meals.
