This is all to this beautiful black bean, fennel and red cabbage salad! A three main ingredients salad and I confess there is no need for much extra.
I’m such a fan for crazy, wild salads innovation and when I get to finding a winning recipe I just stick with it. Whether it’s a meal, a salad or a desert it just has to be right. Right from all the angles and perspectives (same thing I know but it sounds good ?)
Hearty salads are a all year round winners and beans, oh, beans…. just go so well together with almost anything really.
I just love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ salads, I’m pretty sure you’ve gathered this by now and truthfully, there’s pretty much no end and no constraints to what combos you could make when it comes to a salads.
This salad is made with black beans, fennel and red cabbage with a very simple drizzle of chili balsamic vinegar is all you need in a light, yet nutritious salad to accompany a main… but I will tell you that I do have this salad just it as a dinner sometimes as it does suffice my needs and the always hungry me ? ?
All ingredients here are organic and I openly declare I’m a huge fan of organic produce. Needless to say that since I’ve started to buy mainly organic produce, I save quite a lot of money on food, we eat a lot better, we waste no food whatsoever and the food obviously tastes better.
Buy local produce. Not only that you know what you are eating but you also help the local farmers that really work so hard. I know there are people that contest and say no to organic for whatever reasons and believes but ultimately it’s everyone’s call and choice entirely. To me, it’s the real stuff ?
Let’s put this simple salad together then! ?

Notes
Those are super nutritious with a high content of protein and fiber. You can serve this salad as the sides to pretty much anything you wish apart from soup or a dessert of course.? Fell free to add some feta cheese, some avocado, crushed and finely chopped garlic or some cooked chicken. I did try all of these on all different occasions and ate it as a main dish. It’s complete and an absolutely superb salad. ?
I do love salad recipes at the moment and this sounds healthy and filling which is always a great combination.
Thank you Corina. It is indeed – salads always rock!
I love the colours in this salad Ramona. It’s great that it can be a complete meal too with the beans. Great for lunchboxes I think!
Thank you Amanda,
It is one of my favourite salads I have to say although any salad could do for me any time but I love the oned that are a complete meal – all in one bowl – delish. XX
I think simplicity in salads is wonderful! Allows each ingredient to stand on its own. This salad is so colorful I would love eating it.
Absolutely Leandi, you have put the dot on the i – I agree 100% with this- it is the way to enjoy the individual flavours in any dish – thank you so much for stopping by. Have a lovely day !
