Black Bean Salad

An even better title for this post could be, Dinner When Everything Else Falls Through. This here folks is my go to meal.

Back in the days when DJ and I were dating, we would go to this amazing Caribbean restaurant. They made these to die for black bean salads. These salads were giant, piled high with black beans and rice, and topped with this wonderful BBQ Caribbean salsa. Oh, how I still dream about those wonderful salads! We were heart broken when the restaurant closed down. Shortly after, we started making our own versions of those black bean salads.

 

I thought I would share this recipe with you guys today.

 This is easy to make, hearty, and so delicious.

 

You will need:

 

Romaine Lettuce

Tortilla Chips (optional)

1c. Rice

1 can Black Beans

1 can Corn

Onion

Tomatoes

Cheddar Cheese

Salsa

Sour Cream

 

All you have to do is cook the rice per package directions. Chop up the lettuce, onion, and tomato. Then, start layering on your ingredients in the order listed above. The salsa and sour cream are used as the dressing. One of the great things about this recipe is its versatility.  Feel free to add as much or as little of things as you like. 

Enjoy!
