Hey Richard, how do i make refried beans with black beans?? any other recipes for black beans besides soup??

My mom made this salad the other night, and I"m craving it again, but don't have the fixings for it, but it was SOOOOOO good!!!!

Grilled Cornbread Salad

6 cups roughly crumbled day-old corn bread
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. grainy mustard
1/3 C olive oil
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed, drained
4 slices crisply cooked bacon, crumbled
2 ripe tomatoes, diced
2 ripe avocados, peeled, seeded, diced
1 each , thinly sliced: small red onion, cucumber
¼ C chopped cilantro
1 tsp. salt
Freshly ground pepper

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place crumbled corn bread on greased baking sheet, bake until crunchy, about 7 minutes.

Wisk together the red wine vinegar, mustard and olive oil, set aside.

In a large bowl for serving, place the beans, the diced tomatoes, the diced avacados, sliced onion and cucumber, and the chopped cilantro. Toss lightly to mix.

When ready to serve, add in the corn bread cubes, and the bacon, salt and pepper. Drizzle the vinegrette over the top and toss lightly to coat.

Serve immediately and thoroughly enjoy!

We had this the other night with french onion soup as a dinner. It was sooooo good!
