Mixed bean salad
Canned beans make this salad fast and easy to assemble. Beans are high in fiber, protein, complex carbohydrates and iron.
Beans are a good way to add fiber to your diet, especially soluble fiber. One cup of cooked beans generally provides 9 to 13 grams of fiber.
Ingredients (Serves 8)
- 1 can (15 ounces) unsalted green beans, drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) unsalted wax beans, drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) unsalted kidney beans, drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) unsalted garbanzo beans, drained
- 1/4 cup chopped white onion
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- Sugar substitute, if desired
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the beans and onion. Stir gently to mix evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice and vinegar. Add sugar substitute for desired sweetness.
Pour the orange juice mixture over the bean mixture. Stir to coat evenly. Let stand 30 minutes before serving.
