3. Mix and pour over salad mix well.
4. Pinto beans can be substituted with ANY canned bean. We like (black eyed peas) just rinse and drain well!
5. I use a HUGE dollar store bowl with plastic lid, and shake to mix!
6. This gets better every day as the ingredients "set".
7. Use as a side dish -- or for a meal in itself! The beans are the protein, the splenda is diabetes-friendly -- it just doesn't get better than this! ENJOY.
