Sweet Potato and Black Bean Salad

This meal was AWESOME!!!!  I assembled my dish slightly different than what the recipe says to do.  I simply baked the potatoes (I did  regular white baking potatoes for my husband who won't eat sweet potatoes).  Once the potatoes were cooked, I split them open and topped the potatoes with the  black bean salad.  We will definitely be making this meal again...YUM!

Enjoy!
