I just tried this for the first time today and it was delicious. I bought it at Trader Joe's (because the sample was so good). I added half a can of tuna to it & loved it. But at $3.99 for an 8 oz container, it's not something I'm going to buy very often. Read more Luckily, it's super easy to make! And healthy. And filling. And easy to make into a complete meal that the meateaters will like, and that won't heat up the kitchen. (I could go on ...) See less

How to make it
- Put rinsed and drained beans into a large mixing bowl. Toss, very gently, with the remaining ingredients. Let stand about a half hour before serving. The optional ingredients are not "authentic" - I just think any or all of them would be good with it.
