Black Bean Salad
Description
Black bean salad is great as a quick summer snack—takes only a few minutes to prepare, is very light (after all, it's made with fresh vegetables), yet quite filling (thanks to the beans). The recipe itself is nothing special, but the combination of ingredients is worth remembering—this is exactly why black bean salad turns out so delicious.
