Black Beans add additional fiber and protein.

Servings: 6 – 1 cup servings
Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes

I love summer squash and I’ve been seeing it lately in the store; however, the last time I stocked up on zucchini I didn’t quite get to it on time.  Today I was determined to make something with zucchini and this salad is the result.

Zucchini is a great source of fiber, potassium and Vitamin C — to name a few.  Add to it the fiber and protein from black beans and this salad quickly doubles as a vegetarian entree!

Try it for a simple, quick dinner or take it to your next barbecue this weekend!
