Feel free to adjust the lime juice according to your taste.
If you like your salad to be a little more spicy add another ½ tsp of black pepper.
If you use unsalted macadamia nuts you may have to adjust the salt according to your taste and add a little more salt in your salad in the last step after squeezing lime juice.
Red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes and broccoli slaw also goes well with kidney beans salad.
