Simple Bean Salad
A simple bean salad for when you want to keep things basic but also want it to be delicious.
I’m not sure what it is about beans, but I always forget that they are an option on the FAILSAFE diet. So it always feels like a stroke of genius when I not only remember to use them but also really LOVE what I’ve made with them.
Take this simple bean salad for example. I was getting reallllllly tired of eating green beans and brussels sprouts as a side and didn’t have any potatoes on hand (because let’s be honest, who actually gets sick of eating potatoes. NOT ME). I stood in the pantry just staring at what was available and saw a variety of beans just sitting there waiting to be used.
The whole not wanting to eat green beans made the pear and bean salad a no-go. I remembered making and liking a Mexican bean salad back in the day, but the whole spices-are-high-salicylates thing made that a no-go as well. That’s when it hit me. I could do a basic FAILSAFE salad dressing and just dump it over some beans. Throw in a little garlic and some green onion and VOILA. The perfect side dish for just about anything.
Are beans your thing? What’s your favorite thing to make with beans?
