Notes On Mexican Black Bean Salad Recipe

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.

The fiber present also helps in preventing constipation, promotes growth of healthy bacteria in the intestines and brings about better food digestion. They are available throughout the year and can be purchased from the local grocery stores. It is, however, important to note that they need to be soaked before cooking. It is a simple recipe to prepare.

One clove of crushed garlic, as well as chopped fresh cilantro is also needed. Ground cumin, preferably half a tablespoon, is also needed, alongside black pepper that is grounded. Chili powder as well as hot pepper sauce may also be included.

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.
