This appetizer is very easy to toss together, and is a perfect example of the great potential of canned beans. Pumpkin seeds and lime juice together add an unusual, but delicious, flavor. Serve alone as a bean salad, with crackers or bread, or on a bed of lettuce.
¼ cup hulled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 can (15 ½ ounces) white beans, rinsed and drained
1 tomato, finely chopped
⅓ cup white, yellow, or red onion, finely chopped
⅓ cup finely chopped cilantro
3-4 tablespoons lime juice
Salt
Ground black pepper
