Black Bean Salad

Black Bean Salad

Here's a recipe that comes from Vitality, the magazine New Mexico Tech employees on the medical insurance plan receive. Looks good to me, but I haven't tried it yet.

5 Tbsp. fresh lime joice
5 Tbsp. fresh orange juice
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
6 cups black beans, cooked
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 bunch scallions (including greens), chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced

Prepare the dressing by combining lime and orange juices, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

Place remaining ingredients in a large serving bowl and mix together. Add the dressing; toss and cover. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Serves 4.
