Welcome to another month of Cook With Sam Club! 💛
Every month we cook one recipe together as a community. This month we're making my Creamy Chipotle Bean Salad! It's fresh, creamy, packed with protein, completely no-cook, and one of those recipes I find myself making again and again all summer long.

I originally published this recipe back in 2017 and have been making it every summer since. Dense bean salads are everywhere right now, but I've been making this Creamy Chipotle Bean Salad for years. I just gave it a complete refresh with beautiful new photos, a rewritten post, and a refreshed recipe with even more helpful tips. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the perfect time. I have a feeling it might become one of your summer staples too!

Why We're Making This Recipe This Month
Bean salads are my favorite kind of summer meal because they're hearty enough to be dinner, require zero cooking, and taste even better after sitting in the fridge. This Creamy Chipotle Bean Salad is one I make every single summer, and can't wait to see everyone's creations this month!

🎉 June's Winner + Your BBQ Sheet Pan Photos
Now for the moment you've been waiting for… A huge congratulations to our June winner: 👉 Trish B.
Trish said: "I made this Vegan Sheetpan BBQ Dinner and it was easy and delicious. I decided to spread the meal over two pans, as I had a ton of veggies to use up and didn't want to crowd the pan. I couldn't find corn, so I subbed zucchini and broccoli. I'll certainly make this one again!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You've won a $100 gift card (your choice of Amazon, Indigo/Barnes & Noble, or Uber Eats) 🎁 Your name was randomly selected from all the entries. I'll be reaching out by email shortly!
