This easy Black Bean Salad recipe is what I use when I have to take a dish to an event because it is so quick to make and everyone comes back for seconds.
Continuing on the theme of the delicious southwest flavors, please let me introduce to you my new favorite salad. Oh, this salad. I could wax poetic about it’s lovely qualities. But I won’t. Lucky for you.
Warm, coin-shaped slices of pan-fried carrots, white alubia beans, and chopped dill tossed with a tangy-sweet lemon shallot dressing. It tastes good the day you make it, even better the day after.
Canned beans are a quick, no-cook protein option that readily absorbs the flavors of fresh herbs and roasted red peppers. Roast your own peppers or look for them in jars on grocery shelves near olives and pickles. Serve this hearty salad with whole wheat crackers, if desired.
Bring a bowlful of color to your healthy eating plan. Food should look as good as it tastes, and this salad of beans, veggies and cheese delivers in every way.
