Black Bean Salad
/I’m officially in full holiday mode, and have been mapping out our Christmas Day menu. Even though it will just be my husband, myself and my parents I still want to make some fun appetizers and treats!
Due to COVID-19 I thought it would be fun to make individual appetizer plates for everyone, and one of the appetizers I am considering including is my black bean salad. This is a great option because it is super alkalizing for the body, it’s high in protein and fiber ….both of which will keep you full!
This recipe can feed a lot of people, and would also be great for Sunday football or your next virtual happy hour!
