Banana Black Bean Salad

Recipe #248758 | 15 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Food Snob in Israel

A fresh/zippy salad that can be made well in advance and served with a dollop of sour cream and chives/parsley/cilantro as a garnish or alongside fish, rice or something else fun. Mango may be used in addition to or in place of the banana. I developed this recipe to combine the delicious flavors of Island and Latin food with Californian cuisene.
