A few months back while we were visiting my dear friend Rebecca, she made a delicious bean salad. This week I had to have bean salad and went on a search. I found the one I just shared, not only did I find the black bean recipe I found Once Upon a Chef....a place I plan on visiting again and again. I served this with Cilantro Citrus Chicken and roasted potatoes. This would make an excellent addition to your July 4th cookout.

Enjoy!
