Add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin and 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano to the bowl.

If desired, add 1/8 teaspoon of xanthan gum to thicken the dressing.

Whisk the dressing ingredients together and taste for balance.

In a large mixing bowl, add 3 cans of drained and rinsed kidney beans, pinto beans, and black beans.

Add 5 thinly sliced scallions to the beans.

Add 1/4 cup of roughly chopped cilantro to the mixture.

Slice and add 1/4 of a red bell pepper, finely diced, to the bowl.

Pour the moho dressing over the bean mixture.

Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined.

Transfer the salad to a meal prep dish for storage.
