Fresh Black Bean Salad

You could substitute any other bean if you are not a black bean fan.   I think it is fun finding all the different types of beans to have them in my diet.   Between the different colors, textures and tastes, I never get tired of beans.  You may need to try some Beano before you partake of beans if they give you too much gas.   This recipe is dairy free, gluten free and vegan!  Enjoy.
