Packed with a smorgasbord of veggies and prepared in one bowl from start to finish, this bean salad is front and center in Chef Ivy Stark’s Naked Tacos at Dos Caminos restaurant. When summer corn is at its prime, grill an ear and slice the cooked kernels off with a knife. Did you know that one cup of canned black beans provides almost half of what the USDA suggests for daily fiber intake? That same cup of beans is packed with protein, folate, magnesium and antioxidants, approximately 10 times the antioxidants in an orange. Now that's a side dish to feel great about.
