It’s summer baby, and the gardens are alive with color! Perfect for a dense bean salad! And… the longer it sits in the fridge, the yummier it gets. Just add your favorite balsamic dressing or you can make your own with EVOO, lemon juice and herbs. Salt and pepper to taste. Maybe get a little wild and top with some goat cheese or Gorgonzola!
Whole salad totals
* Protein: ~83–87 g
* Fiber: ~64–68 g
For comparison, each serving gives you about:
* 🥗 10–11 g protein (about the same as 1½ large eggs)
* 🌱 8–9 g fiber (roughly one-third of the recommended daily fiber intake for many adults)
That’s an excellent nutritional profile for a side dish or lunch. If you pair one serving with grilled chicken, tuna, salmon, or cottage cheese, you’ll easily reach a meal with 30–40 g of protein while getting a substantial amount of fiber.
Girl, get some sunshine in your belly!! ☀️
