This recipe comes straight from Dr. Weil's Optimum Health. I receive some really yummy recipes from Dr. Andrew Weil courtesy of a newsletter I've subscribed to from Everyday Health. At least that's what the email says. I'm not real sure where I actually signed up for it. Anyway.....I digress!
When I received this one, I knew that I had to make it. In fact, it has been on my mind since I received it so I had to stop tonight after work for the fresh parsley. I guess I'm on a salad kick now that it's summer. Since it has been so hot, I crave cool foods. I've shared with you that I'm trying to eat at clean as possible so this recipe is perfect on every level!
A delicious recipe to help you eat and feel healthy — direct to you from Dr. Weil's Optimum Health Plan.
White Bean Salad
3 Servings
This is a very easy bean salad you can make the night before and take to work, or serve as a side dish.
1 can white beans, like cannelini
1 tbsp red pepper, chopped fine
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped fine
¼ cup tomato, diced
1 tbsp red onion, chopped fine
1 tsp quality extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp herb and spice blend
Drain the canned beans and rinse well in a strainer. Make sure you've drained all the rinse water. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl, whisking the oil and vinegar together first. Add the beans. Experiment with different types of canned beans and different chopped vegetables to add.
