Recipe: White Bean Salsa

whitebeansalsaI love having a bean salad on hand for quick meals, or to add to other dishes. Make this dish ahead of time so that the juices blend together.

Ingredients:
1-15 oz can low-sodium white beans rinsed
1 medium #tomato cubed
1 medium avocado cubed
1/2 cup fresh Italian #basil, julienne chop
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Organic No-Salt Seasoning
For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes

Directions: Mix together all ingredients and keep in refrigerator in a sealed container. This is such a tasty dish, it won’t last long but will be fresh for up to 3 days.

Serving ideas:
Appetizer with chips
Scoop on top of green #salad
Toss with linguine noodles – add extra balsamic and olive oil
Mash up the mixture and use like a hummus spread in a wrap with lettuce

Enjoy!
