How does life in Dayton, Ohio, compare to life in Costa Rica?

After moving to Costa Rica, I am back in the USA visiting family and friends.

Easy Bean Salad

Just made up my own bean salad recipe and it was a hit tonight! I think the secret ingredient was the Salsa Lizano, haha...



INGREDIENTS
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
half a bell pepper, chopped small (color of your choice, yellow looks nice!)
two handfulls washed spinach leaves, chopped fine 
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic
1 1/2 teaspoon salsa lizano (alternative: 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon pepper)

1. Drain and rinse beans and chickpeas and combine them in a large bowl. Add chopped bell pepper and spinach. Mix everything together. 
2. Add the olive oil, mix well. Add salsa lizano (or alternative) and mix well. Lastly add garlic (more or less, to taste) and mix well. 
3. Refridgerate until ready to serve. 

NOTE: You can substitue spinach for cilantro or try with other beans. Add more/less depending on how many servings you want. This makes servings for about 6 people. 

Enjoy! 

Pura Vida...
