Black Bean Salad with Lime Cinnamon Vinaigrette

This fresh, colorful black bean salad is filled with a bounty of beans and veggies to fuel you, whether for lunch or dinner. We’ve added Cabot Lite50 Jalapeño Cheddar to keep the fat low and the great taste front and center. But the secret to its amazing flavor is the Lime Cinnamon Vinaigrette dressing, which is just out of this world! You’ll want to make extra, because this salad is delicious the next day and, as a bonus, it’s lactose free! This is definitely a recipe you’ll want to share with family and friends on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.

Ready to make 8 servings? You won’t believe how quickly and easily this amazing salad comes together! Combine the black beans (rinsed and drained), diced Cabot Lite50 Jalapeño Cheddar (or Cabot Lite50 Sharp Cheddar), diced bell peppers, and chopped onion in a medium bowl.

Then make the salad dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lime juice, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over salad, tossing to combine, and dig in!
