In this week’s Goodbye Gluten, Girish provides the recipe for a fresh black bean salad. From a healthy dish to the perfect addition for a dinner party, the salad is sure to spice up any meal.

Black bean salad

Black beans, vibrant green butter lettuce, and juicy red tomatoes together make this salad a beautiful centerpiece. This black bean salad is one of my mom’s favorites and is a refreshing way to liven up your meal. It is a fabulous side to any dinner party and the aromatic Mexican flavors will make you come back for more. It is a delicious and easy way to up your protein intake. A key component of this salad, other than the black beans, of course, is the vibrant green butter lettuce. Months ago I spotted the Live Lettuce at the grocery store, and it was so inviting. The handle even said, “take me home.” Ever since, I have never bought another brand; it’s always been Live Butter Lettuce.
