This is my sister-in-law Nikki's recipe. Very easy but yummy! I like to serve it over rice.

Confetti Beans and Rice

We had this at when we went D.C. to visit Kasey and Kathryn. We thought it was yummy. I have made it without the chicken and added extra black beans, we also liked it with some cilantro and red onion.


4 cups cooked rice (this is sort of a guess :)
2 tsps Dijon mustard
1/2 cup light Caesar salad dressing
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed
12 ozs chicken, cooked, diced
1 can (11 oz) Mexican-style corn, drained
4 green onions, thinly sliced
spinach leaves, optional

Directions

Prepare rice according to package directions.

In a large bowl, combine Dijon mustard and Caesar salad dressing. Toss in rice, beans, chicken, corn and green onions.

Chill or serve at room temperature. Garnish with spinach leaves, if desired.Serving suggestion … Serve in large tomato with pulp and seeds removed. My sister-in-law served this in pita pockets.
