How Do I Make Very Easy Black Bean Salad?

Here is how you make Very Easy Black Bean Salad:

Use one can of beans for about every cup of salsa you use. You can use more or less salsa depending on your own taste. If you decide to cook the beans yourself, buy the dried black beans, rinse, soak over night. Drain. Cover with water and make sure there is plenty of water so the beans don't cook dry. Bring to boil uncovered. Stir occasionally, and make sure the beans don't boil dry. Add water if necessary. Cook until tender, usually about 2 hours.Drain. Let cool. Add salsa. Refrigerate. There you have it, a tasty filling meal.I make several cups of this at a time, and keep it refrigerated for meals during the week.If you would like to add extra ingredients, like garlic, onions, red pepper flakes, cilantro etc., do so. Remember that the flavor will blend during the week if you keep it sitting for awhile. I suggest adding scallions before serving, because they are a bit more delicate.Also, if you want to add a tablespoon of fat to this, like mayo or salad dressing or sour cream, it makes it much richer and more filling. Not necessary, but it really ups the flavor. Just remember to measure your fat. And some chopped avocado in this is the best way to add some fat and filling, while not doing major damage to your arteries.Enjoy.
