Tomatillo, Black Bean and Onion Salad

Behold!  The perfect side dish for your taco or enchilada night!  If you've never tried tomatillos you should.  They are tangy and tart and nothing like a tomato (which is a common misconception, I think.) They are actually a member of the gooseberry family!  Anyway, this is a beautiful salad and tasty too!  

Tomatillo, Black Bean and Onion Salad (adapted from marcussamuelsson.com)

5-6 tomatillos 

1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 bunch cilantro, minced
2 limes, juiced
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 t. salt
1/2 t. black pepper

Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse to remove the sticky outer coating.  Cut into bite sized chunks and place in a large salad bowl.  Add onion, black beans, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.  Toss to combine.  I made this a few hours ahead of time and let it marinate.
