This is a delicious black bean salad - loved the tangy taste from the balsamic and dijon mustard. I did not have sundried tomatoes on hand, but had a jar of sundried tomatoes, lime and jalapeno which worked beautifully. Love the way this sauce livens up the black beans. Will definitely make again and it is going in my Best of 2012 recipes. Made for Fall PAC, 2012.
