  • 1 jalapeño, chopped

  • cilantro for garnish

  • Optional: crumbled goat cheese

Dressing:

  • 1-2 tsp dark maple syrup

  • 1 Tbsp chopped cilantro

  • salt & pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.  Drizzle desired amount of dressing over salad about an hour or so before serving to allow the flavors to soak into the beans.
