This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with BUSH’S Cocina Latina™ and Latina Bloggers Connect.
Here in the Northern Hemisphere sometimes they find it strange that salads are so important and traditional in the Latino Christmas table, I think they forget that back in South America it's summer and our Latino mothers are always concerned that we eat our vegetables. In my family, the salads are planned with the same care that the meat or main dish. And cold salads are always a nice addition for both dinners, as for barbecues during the day and more informal meetings.
I continued the tradition here in the US and this year will make a salad with spicy beans, it's full of flavor and so colorful that it brightens any table. You could also serve this as salsa or with tortilla chips. Either way is delicious. For more information and inspiration visit website Bush's Beans #ElFrijolazo.
Although not traditional Chilean, I always have prepared beans in my pantry because they are delicious and nutritious; I use crushed black beans or Charros in quesadillas. This line of BUSH'S Cocina Latina ™ is inspired by the traditional cuisine of our homes, with delicious flavors. It's like being at the taco truck. I recommend it.
