Black Bean Salad (vegan & GF)
If you’re a cilantro fan 🙋♀️you’ll definitely want to save this recipe!🤤
This black bean salad 🥗 with pepita cilantro dressing was inspired by the delicious flavors of Mexican cuisine. 🇲🇽
Travis and I are HUGE ✨fans of Latin food, particularly food originating from Mexico. 🤤
Living in SoCal, we are fortunate enough to have amazing restaurants at our doorstep but we definitely don’t miss the opportunity to take a drive down to Ensenada or quick ✈️ to Cabo to enjoy their incredible flavors 🥑
This salad combines plant based protein from the beans🫘 with prebiotic fiber from the jicama.
Prebiotics are fuel ⛽️ for the good microbes that live in our gut microbiome. When they are fed what they like, they can flourish ✨and produce compounds that keep us feeling well 😌
Enjoy this salad this week for Cinco De Mayo 💃or for a yummy meatless Monday dinner 🍽
