Potato & Pinto Salad

What can I say...I love creating fresh and delicious salads! Here's one I came up with that is a great way to get protein, carbs, nutrients, and oh yeah, flavor!

Ingredients:
Approx 8-10 medium-sized red or yukon gold potatoes
2 cans pinto beans, drained
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper,chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (use more/less seeds for desired heat)
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1/2 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup of fresh dill, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
EVOO & white wine or champagne vinegar, to taste
1/2 tsp cumin seeds

Peel potatoes and boil until tender. Strain water and place potatoes in large bowl filled with ice water to stop cooking and cool. Let sit in ice water for at least 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are chilled thoroughly. Drain and cut into small cubes. Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl with rubber spatula, taking care not to break up potatoes too much. Adjust seasonings to taste and serve or store in fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy!
