Don't let our name scare you! This delectable blend of five beans, marinated in a scrumptious vinaigrette dressing is a real crowd pleaser.
You will love how easy this is to throw together, and especially how nutritious it is. I ended up making it for my best friend’s summer barbecue, it kept overnight in the fridge very well, and transported easily. It’s a keeper.
Prep time: 15 minutes (after simmering beans).
Can a salad so delicious be so good for you? You're darn tootin'!
According to the Mayo Clinic, beans are a great way to get your daily dose of iron, phosphorous, magnesium (which the body needs to keep the nerves and muscles functioning) and potassium. And as an added bonus, they're low in fat and high in other good things, like dietary fiber and protein, meaning they'll keep you fuller longer.
