I am not always that crazy about salads that aren’t just greens and the usual vegetables, but I have to say that the recipe below is absolutely delicious. Liz’s boyfriend, Ron, supplied the recipe, which appeared on the side of the can of black beans that his mother had bought. She served this one evening when they invited us to dinner and I was shocked at the wonderful range of flavors this simple recipe offers. This deserves a definite 5 Star rating in my book. It’s full of flavor, easy to make and pretty enough to serve to guests. Try it, you’ll love it. If you do try it, please let me know your reaction.
