Black Bean Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 small green pepper, cut in bite-size strips
1 small carrot, coarsely shredded
1 Tbsp. chopped red onion
lettuce leaves (optional)
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. shredded lime peel
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1/8 tsp. ground cumin
1/8 tsp. ground red pepper

Preparation

Serve this high fiber, low-fat salad with grilled fish or poultry.
Rinsing canned beans removes some of the salt added during processing.
You can also soak, cook and drain about 3/4 cup dry black beans (use 1 1/2 cups cooked).
