BLACK BEAN SALAD

Posted by Carole-Anne on March 21, 2008

Black beans have become so popular and Healthy Recipes  shall fill you in on the reasons.  Black beans, as with most beans, are essentially a complete food with nutritious amounts of protein and carbohydrates, and are very healthy for you as well.  They can be mixed with so many other veggies, used as a side dish, such as a salad, which we will do now.

INGREDIENTS:

1 can 15-19 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed carefully

1 can 15 1/4 oz of corn niblets drained

1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

2 tbsp Ranch Dressing (low fat)

FOLLOW ME:

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and toss salad until Ranch Dressing is mixed completely with the rest of the ingredients.

Now, if that is not easy, what is?

This healthy recipe makes 3 1/2 cups and makes a great side salad for chicken or fish.
