"What's for lunch?" Bean Salad!

The past few weeks we’ve written about the activities we can do to get ourselves through a very busy part of the semester. Another of those strategies is having this salad recipe for lunch. It’s an easy recipe: if you can open a few cans and can stir, then you can make this salad! This salad stores well, and it’s an easy lunch.

 

 Ingredients

  • 1 can whole kernal corn
  • 1 can rinsed black beans
  • 1 can rinsed garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
  • 1 can rinsed kidney beans
  • 1 cup (or more if you like) of sliced celery
  • 1/2 cup diced purple onion
  • 1/2 chopped parsley
  • splash of lime/lemon juice
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup Salsa (or to taste)

 

Directions
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and stir. Serve cold.

Do you have a recipe you can share that is as simple as this one? Please leave your suggestions in comments below.

I do a similar recipe (based on something on the "olive bar" at our beloved Wegmans), and I sometimes toss in chopped avocado and/or cubed cheese. Then you can enjoy it with pita or chips for a really satisfying and easy to devour meal!
