Quick Black bean salad

Well the days are warming up and summers starting to feel like its making its way i even had ice cream not made by myself though. Iv been thinking a lot about salads over the last few days and now iv been informed by my employer i have to make a trip to another branch so i decided id take a few things to eat for my journey as ill be up at the bright an early time of 5:30am to get my travels under way. By the time it gets to 10:30am ill be pretty hungry i think so ill be taking a little salad to go with what ever lunch i buy.

Heres what i made with what i have in the cupboards so theres no exact quantities for this unfortunatly =)

Black Bean Salad


cooked black beans
onion chopped
Red pepper chopped
cucumber chopped
carrot grated
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp tamari or soya sauce



1 if your black beans havnt been cooked soak for 8 hours or upto overnight in water. Once soaked place the black beans in fresh water and cook following packet instructions.

2 Toss all ingredients together

3 place in the fridge to let the flavours combine.


This made a nice little snack for me to enjoy in the sun and not bad for a throw together at the last minute. Ill be making ice cream this weekend so hopefully the weather will stay as nice as it has been this week.
