Southwest Black Bean Garden Salad

Posted on by Sam Boyd

This is an old recipe from us that fit right into our new diet plan:

Black Bean Salad

2oz drained black beans

1/2 cup peeled and julienned Jicama

1-1/2 cups Washed Spinach Leaves

1/2 cup pico de gallo (either look this up or email me for a recipe)

1 whole lime (cut into 4 wedges)

1/3 cup either green or red salsa (we used Trader Jose’s)

Here is the finished product:

When squeezed over the salad, the limes add enough acid to make the tomatoes taste brighter.  Plus, the added liquid makes the salsa go much further.  This recipe is raw, so thoroughly wash all your ingredients.  At the end of the day, this uses about 3-1/2 cups of veggies and has 2oz of protein.  Enjoy!
