BROWN RICE WITH SALSA AND BLACK BEANS

Brown Rice With Salsa and Black Beans image

This is a quick and easy recipe that is great as a cold salad or side. You can use instant brown rice or cook regular brown rice, You can also substitute a different type of bean and vary the salsa depending on how hot you like it. I love the fact that this can be served hot as well as cold and is deliscious either way. It can also be a main dish or a side dish.
