Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Place squash halves in a shallow baking pan with about 1 inch of water.
