Tossed Salad with Black Beans
Dinner doesn’t get much easier than baked stuffed potatoes and salad. I’ve listed suggestions for stuffings, but you can use whatever your family enjoys. This also makes a terrific potluck idea. One person provides the potatoes, and everyone else brings a different stuffing.
Ingredients:
One baked potato or baked sweet potato per person
1 can of black beans, drained
½ head of green and red lettuce, chopped
Tomatoes, cut into quarters
Croutons
Italian dressing
Stuffing ideas:
Grated cheeses: mozzarella, asiago, cheddar, American, hot pepper jack
Cooked meats: chopped cooked chicken, ground turkey with seasoning, ground beef, crumbled bacon, cooked Italian sausage
Chili: red chili or white bean chicken chili
Chopped green onions or red onions
Sliced olives
Sour cream
Chopped chili peppers
Beans: red, kidney, navy, black, or pinquito
Preparation:
Cook the potatoes in the oven or the microwave.
While the potatoes cook, chop the lettuce and tomatoes.
Toss with ½ cup of black beans and 2 Tbsp of Italian dressing.
Use the remaining black beans on the potatoes.
Place the stuffing ingredients on the table and let everyone make their own creation.
