Mexican Black Bean and Hominy Salad

My sister-in-law recently sent me this recipe. It was served at her book club and was a big hit with all the ladies. I tried it tonight and it was a big hit here at my house, too. The combination of black beans and hominy is really interesting. Always use top quality olive oil like the ones available from Mediterranean Drizzles. Experiment with flavored oils, like red pepper or garlic. I am sure it will become a family favorite recipe for your family, too.
