turns out...i LOVE black beans. they were previously featured in my "honey glazed salmon" entry, and here they are yet again. this "salad" is really just a wonderful mess of my favorite ingredients. and for this reason, it has several purposes. you could serve it warm over a bed of lettuce, chips, or inside of a tortilla. i personally like it cold, after its been marinating for a bit...with avocado on top. it's a perfect dish to bring to a gathering. full of veggies and protein!
dice up some chicken and either saute or grill (add some minced garlic, salt and pepper). drain and rinse a can of black beans and add to cooked chicken. in a bowl toss together (all diced) tomatoes, red onions, red pepper, garlic and cilantro. add chicken and bean mixture. toss with olive oil and red wine vinegar. notice i did not specify the amounts so that you may enjoy changing the ratio on your own to provide your prefered flavor!
this looks super yummy!!
