I love bean salads. They’re easy to make, healthy, and they keep you regular. I also think they’re beautiful, like edible confetti.
Keep in mind that poblanos vary significantly in heat, from mild heat to almost none at all (the one used in the above shot wasn’t hot, sadly). Heat lovers should consider substituting a large jalapeño for the poblano; just be sure to use gloves or wash your hands immediately, so you don’t get burns.
