A few years ago, when my husband was planning for a leadership training retreat weekend for our church in Texas, he and his team searched for a place to hold it, and finally settled on a little spiritual retreat center a couple of hours away called Mercy Retreat Center.
When I began to work with them on a menu for our group, I figured that they'd need some "mercy" - and creativity - to come up with that many vegetarian meal ideas. To my surprise and admiration the lady in charge was gracious, patient, and super creative. One evening she created this tasty dish. Our group really enjoyed it, and it's far more filling than your typical side dish. It's a great "stick with you meal" for a hot Texas (or Florida!) afternoon.
Black Bean Salad
3 cans black beans, do not drain
5 roma tomatoes, chopped
5 limes, juiced
½ red onion (I used sweet white)
1 avocado, chopped
3 cups cilantro, chopped
pico de gallo seasoning, to taste
fajita seasoning , to taste
Combine all and serve!!
This is gluten free and an awesome meal to fill your belly for weight loss... Definitely one of those dishes you can eat a good amount of without exceeding your "calories." :-)
