Black Bean Salad

     Hey mom, guess what, ...I made Black Beans from scratch, I soaked them overnight and everything.  I'm such a big girl now.  But seriously, this turned out GOOD!  My friend, Jennifer, was telling me about her favorite Black Bean Salad and that inspired me to try out my own version.  This perfect summer fare can be combined with pasta, meat, or just spoon to mouth.  Create your own, additions and subtractions are allowed and encouraged...be your own dog.  But, the only rule is to toss the can and soak the beans, it's a fun experiment that must be experienced!  Cheers to summer salads!
