Vegetarian Black Bean Cakes with Orange-Basil Salsa
Submitted By: BCJL13

These bean cakes are yummy and great for you. Served with the salsa, it makes a very colorful and festive presentation. I serve these with a lite side salad. Plenty of protein and fiber. Even my meat loving hubby loves this meal.
