Black Bean Salad


Black bean salad is very colorful,tasty and healthy salad that is so good to be on your dining table.Black beans are high in fiber too.Black beans along with corn,onions,tomatoes makes it so irresistible.I have soaked and then cooked the black beans,you don't have to do this if you are using canned black beans.
Try this for some tortilla chips or use them up in tacos.You can make it your own variation by adding some avocados also.
