Marinated Black Beans

Submitted by Leslie in Texas

"This is a very versatile salad. You can serve it as a side dish with any grilled or BBQ'd meat, as an accompaniment for your favorite enchiladas or fajitas, or as a dip with tortilla chips. You can add corn to it as well as diced celery- use your imagination! It's from a September 1986 issue of Bon Appetit in the "Cooking Class" section."
