INGREDIENTS

Southwestern Black Bean Salad

DIRECTIONS

  • Sort through the beans and remove any stones or debris. Rinse, cover with 3 times their volume of water, and let soak 8 hours or overnight.
  • Drain and rinse the beans. Cover by 3 inches with fresh water in a large soup pot. Add the bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the beans are just tender, about 45 minutes to an hour (do not overcook; the beans should retain their shape). Discard the bay leaf.
  • Combine the dressing ingredients and mix well.
  • When the beans are done, drain well. Place in a large mixing bowl along with the vegetables and dressing (the dressing will penetrate the beans better while they are warm). Mix gently, adjust the seasonings, and marinate for 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator.
