Black Bean Salad


I love Goya black beans. I make a salad with them that I enjoy eating with a soft boiled egg on the side. It makes for a nice and healthy breakfast.

To make the salad I first place the beans in a colander and rinse under cold water. Once done, I place them into a bowl and add the rest of the (chopped) ingredients—celery, mini cucumber, bell pepper, onion (Vidalia, red, white, or shallot), and fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley). To that I add chia seeds, sea salt, sumac, and olive oil. I also squeeze some lemon juice. Mix everything together and you have a salad that not only tastes great but is good for you too. And it's quite filling. 

Since I am the only one that usually eats this salad one can of Goya black beans makes for two portions, which means I enjoy it two days in a row. I don't make it all at once though. I prefer to make the salad fresh right before eating.
