This quick and easy meal is a testament to the satisfaction of a good main course salad and is just one example of how to include healthy, protein-packed beans in a warm-weather menu. It's simple to double this recipe for two, or increase further to serve even more. Maybe it will become the summer potluck dish you're famous for! Serve with pita chips or warm pita bread on the side. Ingredients:

1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 ground black pepper to taste |
2 lettuce leaves, torn into large bite-size pieces |
