Here's an easy, delicious, and healthy bean salad that I've put together, using one of Michel Montignac's low-carb vinaigrettes. The vinaigrette is great in other salad recipes too. Ingredients:
1 (19 ounce) can mixed beans, drained and rinsed |
1 (14 ounce) can yellow beans, drained and rinsed |
1 (14 ounce) can green beans, drained and rinsed |
1/4-1/2 green pepper, chopped |
1/4-1/2 red bell peppers or 1/4-1/2 orange bell peppers or 1/4-1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped |
1/4-1/2 red onions or 1/4-1/2 vidalia onion, chopped |
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil |
1/4 cup vegetable stock |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 large garlic clove, peeled and crushed |
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano |
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients.
2. Combine the vegetables and add enough vinaigrette to coat. Refrigerate and allow the salad to marinate.
