I can’t wait to try this when my tomatoes start piling up here!! :) I just made my black bean salad for dinner. (love that stuff….but I am sure in a month I’ll be looking for a change)
And I’m sure your family will love it, with their favorite dressing :P
What brand of black beans do you use? I once tried Whole Foods 365 brand and had a gluten-reaction to them, probably because of cross contamination in the factory.
Johnny, I stick with soaking and cooking my own beans.
