The dressing is absolutely sensational in this bean salad - so many taste sensations. It begins with oil and vinegar, but then it gets fancy. Let 's see, there 's lemon and lime juice, garlic, cilantro, sugar, cumin, hot sauce and chili powder to taste.

This is a WONDERFUL salad! I have been making it for about 3 years now at least! Very good on its own but what I do to really make it to my taste is this... I add a touch more sugar (3 tablespoons) and instead of 1 clove of garlic I use 3. I just LOVE the garlic in this. It may not be for everyone but for me its great. I also do a little less chilli powder because its can be a bit spicy with the extra garlic I put in. But the by far is a amazing salad and I always get compliments. Mostly I make it in the summer but it is a nice even in the winter!
