This brightly coloured salad is very refreshing on a hot day. It’s easy to make, and packed full of flavour and fibre. Eat it as a main or serve alongside other foods. The antioxidant content of black beans (also known as turtle beans) and other dark-coloured legumes, per serve, exceeds many fruits and vegetables!
