Canada Day PHOTO South-Western Black Bean Salad

It's Canada Day, so Happy Birthday Canada! Most of you I'm sure are headed out to a BBQ or picnic today, I myself was just excited to do 50-Min of Turbo Jam on a weekday, woo! Maybe I'll go swim at the in-laws later today but it’s chilly unfortunately, only 20 so I probably wont brave the “cold”

Anyway, why not try this at your BBQ. It's a great side salad or even a dip - be sure to buy the scoop kind of chips in order to get all this goodness into one bite.
