I just threw a few things together in a bowl tonight for dinner! It was great! you can add more beans, veggies, cheeses, spices, or take them away, according to your pallet!
Oh!, and if you can make it ahead and let the flavors mingle together it's even better! (like over night)

Simple Summer Warm Salad

Great lunch for a hot summer day

So fresh, light, and easy to make! Great as a side salad, topping for greens/meat/rice, wrap filling, healthy dip for chips--this stuff is incredibly flavorful and versatile! I adapted this from another recipe I found on here to change and add a few things.

This chopped salad is a complete meal and very yummy. Toss with your fave dressing and calculate your calories. We usually use Jalapeno Ranch dressing.

Light veggie and bean salad in a citrus champange vinegar.

Low fat, low sodium, vegan, raw.

"Salad" with chickpeas, avocado, tomatoes, cilantro and corn

Also add some chipotle seasoning.

This is something I just through together, being I was craving Veggies. It is a nice healthy snack or just something for lunch.

On the beans. I cook then well in advance and freeze them in containers for later dated. It works out so you don't have to do them the same day.

I cook my black beans in a pressure cooker with jalapenos, garlic, and veggie broth, but if you use canned, drain & rinse them and then saute for a couple of minutes with the garlic and jalapeno. It will make a big taste difference.

My modification of Tuna White Bean salad, using what I had in the fridge. I used Canelli. Used veggies as available in my refrigerator.
Served with fruit and cheese.

A great, easy pasta salad consisting of beans, tuna, tomatoes, and pasta. Perfect for on the go lunches. Tastes great with a piece of crusty bread.

This is just a little recipe I improvised using ingredients I love. I like it and hope you do, too. Each serving is about 1.5 Cups and you get something low in saturated fat, with protein, fiber & lots of vitamin C! Not bad....

Vegetarian and high in fiber and protein

This colorful salad is packed with veggies and heart healthy beans.

Made from dried white beans, with no sodium added.
Based on a recipe that I used to add pasta instead of beans.
I noted that the size of cans of Tuna has changed since I joined Spark. Deflation of the can?

Corn, peppers, tomato, beans

Packed full of vitamins & protein!!!

If you do a large chop on all the veggies in this recipe you can use this as a salad. If you do a small chop you can use this as a dip or salsa!

Great Summer Salad

Light, fresh, and packed with protein and healthy fats, this tangy salad will have you dreaming of Spring and Summer.
