Honey-Lime Oat and Black Bean Salad

Oat groats are cleaned, toasted, hulled whole oats. Because they are minimally processed, they retain much of their nutritious bran, germ and endosperm. Steel-cut oats are whole groats that are cut into two or three pieces. If you can't find oat groats, substitute wheat berries, whole spelt, brown rice or any whole grain, cooking according to package directions.
