Breezy Beach Bean Chili
"It’s summer time and picnicking at the beach is a favorite past time. Bringing a fancy-ish lunch like this packed with protein that’s easy to eat on the go while sipping your favorite Black Box Sauvignon Blanc just sounds relaxing, doesn’t it? This is a light and happy crisp vegan healthy recipe, but feel free to add some shredded rotisserie chicken if you like meat! The bright citrusy notes in Black Box Sauvignon Blanc is the vibrant refreshing compliment to this Breezy Beach Bean Chili."
