Mediterranean Kidney Bean Salad


My beautiful grandmother gave me the idea for this wonderful recipe!

INGREDIENTS

Kidney Beans
Organic Corn
Bell pepper
Walnuts
Green onion
Organic Kale/Spinach mix

DIRECTIONS

Place your kidney bean salad on a bed of mixed greens (I used kale and spinach).
Top with your favorite dressing (I used balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, lots of pepper)

MEAL PREP IDEA

I like to make a large batch of the kidney bean salad on Sundays. Then I know what I will be eating for the rest of the week. Portion out 4-5 meals for every day of the week in a Tupperware and enjoy for one meal a day!

Benefits of meal prepping...

  • You know what you will be eating for the week
  • Allows you time out of the kitchen mid-week
  • Food is ready when you are hungry
  • This way, you will never eat out of emotion
  • You know what ingredients you are putting in your body
