I had some cooked black beans in my fridge the other day, leftovers from a not so successful black bean soup that I tried. Hungry for lunch, I cooked some buckwheat, steamed some spinach and corn kernels, cut up some raw celery stalks. Then threw everything together and some toasted pistachios on top (my favorite nut to go with buckwheat for some reason). Ready was my lunch salad.<\/div>\n
I tried two dressings for this, as black beans always cry a bit for some spiciness. I liked both the jalapeno one and the lemon one, it really is a matter of taste for hot chillies or the rather gentle and non-intrusive lemon version.<\/div>\n
