Black Bean Salad

I know for most of us we want to limit our time in the kitchen during the summer heat. So this one is quick and easy and limited cooking. A great recipe for leftover rice too.Black Bean Salad.

  4. Hi Kathrine,

    I really enjoy salads like this one. I always rinse canned beans to reduce the sodium level.

    Have a great week!
