Yesterday I described a fantastic salad I enjoyed recently. I’m recreating my favorite components, including Pico de Gallo and this amazing Black Bean Puree.
The salad was built on a thin layer of Black Bean Puree. It was creamy and full of flavor with hints of jalapeno, cilantro and cumin. I couldn’t get it out of my mind so naturally I had to recreate it.
Keep an eye out for this Black Bean Puree to make an appearance in a salad bowl very soon.
