Directions
Marinate the beans in Garlic Vinaigrette for at least 2 hours, then drain. Reserve vinaigrette for dressing the salad.
Combine all the ingredients except garnish in a mixing bowl and toss together thoroughly. Use enough vinaigrette to coat and flavor the ingredients but not drench them.
This can be made several hours ahead and refrigerated until needed.
Transfer to a large serving bowl and tuck tortilla chips around the edges for garnish.
