Now that the weather is beginning to get nice, I start to think about summer picnics and barbeque's and all the wonderful salads that go along with those get-togethers. This colorful and spicy salad is one I make for almost all my parties. The best part is that it is very low in calories and fat, but high in the good nutrients plus loads of flavor!
Ingredients:
15 oz can Mandarin oranges drained
1 c. shredded carrot
1/3 c. chopped cilantro
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1T sugar or 1 packet of substitute
1 tsp. chopped fresh jalapeno
15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
Method:
Combine all ingredients and set in the refrigerator for 30 -245 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve on top of mixed fields greens or endive.
