Healthy & Tasty Bean Salad
1 15 oz. can of kidney beans or black beans
1 15 oz. can of garbanzo beans
1 15 oz. can of white beans
1 can of corn (sometimes i add, but don't need)
small cucumber, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 Tbsp rosemary (fresh is best)
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley (chopped fine)
*I add quinoa sometimes.
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup organic sugar
(or use stevia or agave to sweeten)
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
In a large bowl mix the ingredients, toss, and chill.
Best if you can prepare a few hours a head of time so all the flavors
can soak and mix together.
**Oh, and the picture above actually has some quinoa in it...
I add it sometimes if I want the salad to be a little more substantial, like a meal,
or if I want a little more protein. If it is a side, I wouldn't normally add the quinoa.
Basically you can add or remove items
to this salad and it still tastes great! Tomatoes are good in it too.
ENJOY!
