I'll admit that I didn't come up with this recipe,( its originally from our family friends the Gierlinger's) but it's so good I just had to share it, plus it is something you can make your own by tweaking the ratios to your liking. Its also simple, refreshing and versatile. This is a great recipe to bring to summer picnics or a Cinco de Mayo celebration! It can be eaten as a great side, in sandwiches, tacos, on top of sweet potatoes or with with Greek yogurt.
Ingredients:
-3 very juicy limes
-2 tbsp olive oil
-1/4 tsp salt
-4 cloves garlic
-1 bunch of fresh cilantro
-4 cups of cooked, rinsed, black beans
- optional add ins: a jalapeno, an avocado, tomatoes, corn or onions
Directions:
1. place cilantro an a bowl and cover with water to let the sand separate from the leaves
2. in a separate mixing bowl juice the limes, mince the garlic, add the salt and mix together
3. add the black beans to the dressing bowl
4. drain the cilantro and finely chop
5. add the cilantro to the rest of the salad and toss, marinate at least 20mins in the fridge before serving and enjoy!
