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!

Recipe: Chef Salad

chef saladHome from a week of vacation and eating out, so our first dinner is naturally a chef salad. Light, healthy and tasty.

The key to a great salad is the ingredients:
Rosemary sun dried tomato ham cubed
Salsalito turkey cubed
Red leaf lettuce
Diced tomatoes
Avocado
Black olives
Diced pepper jack
Balsamic and blue cheese dressing.

Great to be home and eat something on the lighter side.
