Terrific recipe, and so simple! Like another reviewer I added a bit of sugar to the dressing. The roasted red pepper dressing was a perfect combination with the black beans. Served this as a main course with a salad and enjoyed a hearty and flavorful meatless meal - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2013
