Black Bean and Herb Recipe
Black Bean and herb may be a fresh, crunchy, tangy and nutritious twist to a standard herb recipe. Beans, tomatoes, corn and peppers served with a tangy vinaigrette and a touch of cumin and flavorer.
It's a perfect summer side with grilled BBQ chicken and keeps well within the fridge to form an excellent lunch all week long.

Summer Favorite
When the produce is fresh, I tend to settle on salads for many of our meals. Salads can have lettuce but many are just a mixture of fresh vegetables (like the Cucumber Tomato Salad).
This simple salad starts with grilled corn (or even leftover boiled corn on the cob) cut straight from the cobs.
This turtle bean and herb gets a Mexican flavor by seasoning a tangy dressing with ground cumin and chilies.
