  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Black Bean Spaghetti

  • 6 cups water for cooking the pasta
  • 4 oz organic black bean pasta
  • 1 red or yellow bell pepper cut into small cubes (Can use 1/2 yellow and 1/2 red for more color. Substitute with 4 mini bell peppers if you'd like)

For the pasta:

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • lime or lemon halves for serving

Instructions

  • Place salmon fillets in a shallow bowl and season with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Make sure fillets are evenly coated with seasoning.
  • Heat olive oil in a non stick skillet over medium heat and cook salmon about 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
  • Pasta: Boil 6 cups water, add spaghetti and simmer for 8 minutes until cooked through. Drain water.
