    Cook With Sam Challenge: July

    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.

    Cook with Sam Club July edition - Creamy Chipotle Bean Salad

    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!

    👉 How to Enter the July Challenge

    Here's how it works:

    1. Make the recipe: Make my Creamy Chipotle Bean Salad anytime in July.
    2. Leave a comment + star rating: Head to the blog post and leave a comment + rating by July 31.

    Every comment and star rating helps my recipes reach more people, so thank you for supporting my work while cooking something delicious. 💛

    🌟 Bonus Entries (Optional, But Fun!)

    Want extra chances to win?

    ⭐ 1 bonus entry: Email a photo of your Creamy Chipotle Bean Salad to hello@itdoesnttastelikechicken.com OR post in the Facebook group: Sam Turnbull's Recipe Club

    💛 💛 2 bonus entries: Share your photo in the It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken Community and use #CookWithSam. I'll also be checking there first when picking photos to feature 👀

    Already left a review? No problem! Just leave another comment during July and I'll count it as your entry.

    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!

    This Month's Prize

    One randomly selected winner will receive: 🎁 A $100 digital gift card (winner's choice!)

    The winner can choose between:

    • Amazon
    • Indigo (Canada) / Barnes & Noble (US)
    • Uber Eats

    I'll announce the winner (and share my favorite photos!) in early August.


    🎉 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!

    💛 Your Vegan BBQ Sheet Pan Photos

    My personal favorite photo this month goes to Laura for this stunning shot! The styling, the garnishes, the BBQ drizzle, what's not to love?
