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!

Product Review: Trader Joe’s Masala Simmer Sauce and Westsoy Seitan

Product review: Gotta love Trader Joe’s sauces that allow for a quick cook meal. Their Indian sauces are some of my favorites, especially the Masala Simmer Sauce. This was my first time cooking seitan and it was delicious and the texture was like a soft chicken. Simmering the seitan in the masala was a snap. Served over basmatirice made for a quick and easy vegan dinner that even @glttrgrl enjoyed! I look forward to cooking with Seitan again.
