By Henry Fox


It goes without saying that man cannot live without food. We need food for our muscles, tissues and for all the parts of our bodies. It is very important to make sure that the meal we consume is of good quality. It should also be prepared in the right manner using the right ingredients and items. It is so common nowadays to have a side dish accompanying the main course. This brings about variation in taste and flavors. In different countries, various side dishes are used and there are different methods of preparing them. In this instance, we look at Mexican black bean salad recipe.

Preparing any kind of a dish does not only start from getting the right ingredients and putting them together. It also involves identifying and understanding the exact amount that you want to prepare. This is determined by the number of people that the meal will be served to, depending on whether it is cooked at home, in a gathering or in a restaurant.

The first and most important ingredient that will be required is one can of black beans, which should be properly rinsed and also drained accordingly. The other ingredient that will be equally important is also a can of kidney beans, and they also should be drained. Additionally, a can of cannellini beans is also mandatory, which should also be equally rinsed and drained. These different types will be very salient, in the process of preparing this highly delicious and colorful meal.

Presence of fiber in these beans makes them so useful in managing diabetes. The fiber also helps in lowering the cholesterol in the black beans. Cholesterol is bad for the heart. Different types of cancers are so common nowadays. Selenium, a mineral that helps in detoxification of some cancer-causing agents, is not found in most vegetables and fruits but it is available in these kind of beans.

It is also vital to have an onion, as is required for any other meal. Nonetheless, it is advisable to have the red onion. One half cup of olive oil will also be required, as well as a similar quantity of red wine vinegar. Lime juice will also be needed, advisably two tablespoons. One tablespoon of lemon juice is also necessary, as well as a reasonable amount of white sugar and salt.

This is for the purpose of getting rid of phytic acid that can actually cause a barrier to nutrients in the beans. Preparation and cooking process is simple. One needs to have olive oil, garlic cloves, cumin, black beans, chicken broth, lime juice and cilantro. You can even decide to use Monterey jack cheese if it is available. Use a big saucepan to heat the oil using medium temperature.

Add cumin and garlic and cook for about thirty seconds. Put in the beans and chicken broth and let the mixture cook for about five minutes, while stirring from time to time. Mash them, let it cook until thick as you continue stirring, for about twenty minutes. You may add some flavor using lime juice, pepper and salt.

Consequently, be sure to pour the olive oils on top of the vegetables. It should be noted that the mixing should be done well, and in precision. After that, what now remains is to chill thoroughly and after the meal is now ready, it should be served cold.
