Review: Trader Joe's starting carrying black bean rotini and the only ingredient is black bean flour. I snagged a bag without considering what I might do with it. More than a week later, I randomly found chipotle tofu at a grocery store I rarely frequent. I knew the two needed to go together in a dish and this is the best I came up with. It's a really fascinating recipe. It's such a simple pasta salad idea, but it's high in protein! It also doesn't taste like pasta. The rotini is just shaped black beans, which feels weird in my mouth (I taste black beans, but I put rotini in my mouth). However, this was incredibly tasty and looks far more appealing than a bean salad! I may make this for the next potluck at work!!
