Fiesta Black Beans

Recipe for Fiesta Black Beans and Rice

I love the fresh and simple flavor of this easy salad!  It’s filling, quick, inexpensive, and super healthy – just perfect for a packed lunch, a summer picnic, Meatless Monday, or a potluck dish.

Did I mention that this dish is so good for you?

Black beans rank at the top of the legume family for antioxidants and they’re very high in folate.  And the consumption of legumes has been shown to help lower cholesterol, help prevent diabetes, and reduce cancer risk.

I seasoned this salad with herbs instead of spices to keep it mild and kind to your tummy.  If you’d like a little more kick without adding spices that are irritating to the digestive system, try stirring in some crushed garlic, more diced onion, and a bit more lemon.
