Recipe from 2009 Taste of Home Annual Recipes/Iola Egle of Bella Vista, Arkansas. Thank you Iola for a great change of pace! Cook time excludes chilling time.

This salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

The asparagus was tough and the black beans were mushy. I think I overcooked it.

This salad is a bit bland. It needs more seasoning.

I'm not sure I like the combination of black beans and asparagus. It's a bit too earthy for my taste.
