Sweet potato and Black Bean Salad

I have recently started a “Transformation Programme” at the gym and have been supplied with many interesting,healthy,high-in-all-the-good-stuff recipes. This one is from that and is an absolutely scrumptious salad. My trainer is definitely going to be happy to hear that, because i complained to him that the others don’t have enough “oomph” :p… Anyway I am making a sincere attempt over the next two months to eat according to the plan as I kickstart this programme. Wish me luck! All recipes in this nutrition plan are given to me in 1 serving quantities (smart man , my trainer)
