I love this dish because it is so versatile and can be served hot or cold. In the summer I serve it as a salad or as a salsa with tortilla chips and in the winter it makes a great filling for tacos or burritos, just add a little cheese and you’re set.

• 1 – 19 oz. can black beans, rinsed

• 1/2 cup ranch salad dressing
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt

directions:

Combine ingredients and allow the salad to sit for minimum ½ an hour or longer to blend the flavors. This salad will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
