[Imafitnessfreak]

Anyone have any good receipes? Is there such a thing?

What kind of beans? I love string beans, diced tomatoes & onions with italian dressing. I love string beans with just about anything. :9

I just brought this one to a potluck at work and people liked it. One lady even asked for the recipe. I hadn't had it for a long time, my mom used to make it. This is the first time I added a link, hopefully it works!

and just in case you were wondering I would never count this as "clean" eating but there are lots of vegies!

Sarah...

I make a bean salad with black beans, garbonzo beans, green beans, chop up an onion and cucumber, mix it with pepper, apple cider vinegar and splenda. Don't have a recipe, I just do it to taste. HTH

ETA: I also drain and rinse the beans...

I make this salad constantly and it is always well received - got it a long time ago from I think Bon Appetit magazine - the recipe easily doubles for large barbecues

1 14-16 oz can chickpeas (garbonzo beans), drain,rinse well & dry
1 14-16 oz can black beans, drain, rinse well and dry
2/3 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tbspns olive oil
2 tbspns balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar (I've only made it with the balsamic)
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Toss to blend well.
Can make a day ahead. Let stand at room temp for approx 20 - 30 minutes before serving - I always do this if serving for company but hubby and I eat it cold right out of the fridge.

Hope you like this.

I make a 'can opener bean salad":
1 can each
organic kidney beans
organic garbanzos
organic green beans
organic black soy beans
(or any beans of your choice) drained and rinsed

Add 1 small jar diced pimentos
chopped red onion

your choice of any of the following:
chopped tomatoes
diced celery
torn baby spinach
sliced black olives
chopped artichoke hearts
cooked rotini pasta

splash with a bit of italian dressing (I like 'zesty Italian' because it has a lot of flavor for less dressing)

Serve on a bed of torn lettuce

I think Costco makes a really tasty bean salad. I still haven't bought it--have wondered about it for years--but finally one day they gave out samples of it. Yum! Pretty cheap, too.
