EASY MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD



Easy Mediterranean Bean Salad image

Easy three bean salad recipe packed with Mediterranean flavors from fresh herbs, capers, and a zesty Dijon garlic vinaigrette. Instead of mushy canned green beans, use fresh steamed ones, or swap them out for another type of bean. I chose to use cannellini beans! After dressing the bean salad, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, so that the beans can absorb the zippy dressing.

MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD



Mediterranean Bean Salad image

I was on Ediets a few years ago and this was the first recipe that I tried. It is delicious and healthy. When my husband and I sat down to our first Ediet meal,we did not know what to expect. What a great surprise and certainly made the diet easy to follow! It has great presentation and does not look nor taste like diet food. Great for vegetarians! Hope you enjoy!

MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD



Mediterranean Bean Salad image

This is an easy, healthy salad that is a great side dish to BBQ chicken, beef or fish! It can also be easily adapted to a Tex-Mex style by changing the lemon to lime, parsley to cilantro and adding ground cumin and/or chili powder! Be sure to add the lemon zest (or lime zest) as this really adds a ZING to the salad!

MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD



Mediterranean Bean Salad image

A colorful, healthier take on mixed bean salads, adapted from "Living the G. I. Diet". No sugar! Some sweetness does come from the balsamic vinegar and the sun-dried tomatoes. Other types of canned beans such as pintos or red kidney beans may be substituted, or use a can of corn for more color.
