    This Wild Rice and Bean Salad is a great low carb dish. Wild Rice is much healthier than white rice and the beans provide good protein.
    Wild Rice and Bean Salad

    This Wild Rice and Bean Salad is perfect for those looking for a healthy, low carb dish. My wife is always asking me to try and make healthier dishes. I know I have to eat healthier as well (which is difficult when you are always cooking or baking) and this salad hits the mark.

    Not only does this salad taste great, but it's healthy as well. If you are like me and trying to eat low carb dishes, then this one is a good candidate. While you could use white rice, wild rice is so much healthier for you and low in carbs.

    🌶 How to Handle Hot Peppers

    The capsaicin in hot peppers is what makes peppers hot. If you handle hot peppers gloveless, it’s a guarantee that you’re in for a nasty case of chili burn, both on your fingers and anywhere you rub. Like your face. Ouch!

    Even if you wear disposable gloves, be careful about what you touch. The gloves are going to protect your fingers, but touching any part of your body with the gloves after you’ve handled hot peppers can lead to severe chili burn. Resist the temptation to rub your eyes. Wait until you’ve removed your gloves and washed your hands thoroughly with soap.
