Black Bean and Spinach Salad. Spring is coming soon and it’s time to say good bye to the soups and hello to salads. This light and fresh salad would be a good healthy addition to any bbq.
I love dishes like this. They are easy to make and always a hit. This particular dish was inspired by one that my mother in law made. I made a few changes to the original.
This healthy salad is vegan and gluten free too.

Recipe Notes
I think it tastes better the next day because the flavors have had time to marinate. This makes a good amount of salad. I would guess about 4 large portions. Should keep for a week, but ours will not last that long.
