YUM :)

THREE BEAN SALAD! This recipe was inspired by Skinny Bitch in the Kitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin. I highly recommend reading their book Skinny Bitch, it is absolutely brilliant. but if you just want some fabulous vegan recipes, their cookbook is great!! This salad was to die for! I changed up the ingredients just to work with what I had, so here is what I used: 1 can kidney beans 3/4 cup soybeans, 1 can garbanzo beans, 1 can black eyed peas, 1 red bell pepper, 2 tbsp fresh basil, 2 tbsp of fresh parsley. THE DRESSING--- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, juice from 1/2 lemon, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar. directions are easy! just mix it all together, and enjoy, knowing you are fueling your body with goodness. here's why: benefits of beans: packed with protein, carbs, fiber and healthy fat. fight against many diseases such as osteoporosis, heart disease, cancer and menapause. one of the most powerful foods out there! Super food! Extra virgin olive oil: healthy, natural, unsaturated fat and well-known anti-inflammatory
