Vegan Black Bean Salad with Sweet Corn and Cilantro
I really enjoy black beans- they’re tasty, and provide you with sustained energy throughout the day. This Vegan Black Bean Salad with Sweet Corn Recipe can be used in many different ways. Simply add it to a tossed green salad for depth and texture, or place it in corn or flour tortillas for a delicious vegan lunch or dinner. This recipe goes well with garden fresh herbs such as basil, thyme, and Italian flat leaf parsley. Try some variations, your taste buds will thank you!
