Dressing Ingredients

• 1/3 cup olive oil

• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

• 2 teaspoons Heinen’s clover honey

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

• 1 teaspoon Heinen’s Italian seasoning

Instructions

As a starting point, make sure you pat down the canned beans and corn from rinsing stage, so that you don’t have unwanted juice in the bowl’s bottom after mixing this recipe.

In a large serving bowl that’s deep enough to mix the ingredients without overflowing, put all ingredients except for the tortilla chips in to bowl. You can separate them if you want to for this short time, but it isn’t necessary. This was done only for picture staging.

Next, make the quick dressing, and pour over the ingredients in the bowl, and delicately mix without breaking any of the beans or other vegetables.

It’s ready to serve, it’s literally that easy!
