This salad is packed with nutrition, including protein. It also provides more fiber than most Americans get in a day! That said, if your body isn’t used to lots of fiber, consider divvying this salad into two mini-meals -- or replace half of the beans with tuna or shrimp.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 1
-
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
-
1 tbsp lemon zest
-
1 garlic clove
-
1 pinch sea salt
-
15 oz Organic Great Northern Beans
-
3 tbsp Red Onion
-
3 tbsp bell pepper (any color)
-
3 cups arugula
-
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
DIRECTIONS
1
In a serving bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and zest, oil, garlic and salt.
2
Stir in the beans, onion and bell pepper. (TIP: You can make this with other white beans, such as cannellini beans. Also, consider making this with 1 1/2 cups of freshly prepared dry beans.)
3
Toss with the arugula.
