Today I embraced some light and healthy eating with Martha’s Three Bean Salad from page 50 of the All- American section.
This salad takes less than 15 minutes to make — you just need to cut and steam some green and wax beans, open a can of kidney beans and make a simple vinaigrette dressing. That’s it! It’s not a big production at all, but it’s both delicious and nutritious and you can have a big old serving that will fill you up without stretching your waistline. Jeff liked this three bean salad a lot and noted that this was the kind of salad he never would have thought about trying but now he can’t wait to have it again. I’m always excited about finding new ways for my hubby to enjoy healthy eating.
I’ve never been interested in becoming a vegetarian, mainly because I enjoy eating meat too much. But unlike Jeff, who never goes a day without any meat, I sometimes like to have a meatless day. I find beans to be one of the best all vegetable meals because they’re filling and full of proteins, a homemade hummus is one of my favorites. This three bean salad will definitely be one of those good, hearty dishes for me on days I just want to lighten up a little and go meatless.
