A Tasty Black Bean Salad for Summer

Today’s recipe, a black bean summer salad, is extremely quick to make and blends some of my favorite flavors and textures: savory, crisp and tart. Let’s look at the nutritional profile:

• Protein: Black beans
• Calcium: Feta cheese
• Beta Carotene: Carrots
• Vitamin A and Vitamin K: Red leaf lettuce
• Fiber: black beans, lettuce, carrots, broccoli slaw

This black bean summer slaw salad can be made in a huge bowl to eat by itself, or can be the first dish of your meal. I love making it for picnics or for concerts in the park, because you can pack it in a to-go container and bring packets of olive oil and vinegar for the dressing. It literally only takes about 10 minutes to make and is so satisfying to eat.
