Smoky Bean and Apple Salad

Recipe #301324 | 20 min | 20 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Golden Dawn

*** Gluten-free and Vegan! *** I got this recipe from a local grocery store, after sampling the finished product. It was delicious, so I came home and made some for myself. I am happy to say that this is one of my new favourite recipes - and it's so easy, too. You can use canned Pinto beans if you want to cut out a few steps, or didn't plan ahead enough to soak beans overnight, and it still turns out great! I also caution spice wimps (like myself!) to start out with a little bit less chipotle pepper, and then add more to taste. Finally, a note to my fellow gluten-free friends: be sure to read the label on the can of chipotle peppers in adobo. The popular "Embasa" brand is NOT gluten-free. the "Empacadora San Marcos" brand IS gluten-free. As always, be sure to read the label.
