Thank you so much for taking the time to write, Sabrina! I appreciate you taking the time to write and share your expertise on this so food can be safely prepared for those with gluten sensitivities. Thank you again! – Meggan

I didn’t realize the writer replied and I didn’t have to sign up LOL.
The only ingredient that may ‘contain traces of wheat’ are the canned beans. Some facilities process wheat and or barley and may say, “May contain wheat, barley” or “may contain traces of wheat, barley” or “processed in a facility that also processes wheat, barley” and all of those would be an immediate no.

On top of that, if you are making it for gluten free guests, you have to make sure to use utensils that have been (preferably) never touched gluten to begin with (cutting board, knife, fork to whisk the dressing, bowl to mix the dressing) and if they have touched gluten at some point in their life, if they are glass and not scratched it is likely to be safe to use however I normally wash them 10x with a brand new sponge (also don’t use a sponge you previously used for gluten). Preferably use gluten free equipment alltogether and ask the severity if you are not able to, explaining what you have on hand.

If YOU are the gluten free person, it’s all up to you and how sensitive you are

It is, I promise, as a celiac. Made an account just to post this lol

Also I would just call this bean salad, mexican style, personally. Bean salad is a trio of beans soaked in high vinegar and somewhat high sugar dressing, and sometimes tossed with fresh green beans and onions, but in this case it mixes mexican ingredients. I feel like “mexican bean salad” may also bring up alternatives but I might as well leave a review of the recipe without making it now that I’ve entered my info and say i’m going to try this because fresh, marinated bean salad was my absolute favourite thing as a child and I haven’t been able to even see it once since moving from Oregon to Canada when I was 12.

Hi CiJi, other readers have omitted the oil and loved it! I would think adding some avocado would give some of the mouthfeel and texture of having an oil in it. Hope you love this dip! – Meggan
