Beans Salad

I have been on a quest to find interesting salad recipes these days. One such recipe was lying right under by nose, in a book called Simply Delicious Vegetarian by Carla Bardi, but I hadn't noticed it until today. I had it for lunch and loved it so much that I had to immediately post it.

Here's how I made it, with a few modifications from the original recipe:

1/2 can cannelini beans - rinsed and drained

1/2 can kidney beans - rinsed and drained

1/2 red bell pepper - thinly sliced

1/4 red onion - thinly sliced

1 tbsp Mrs. Dash's Garlic and Herb seasoning

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

Freshly ground black pepper

2 - 3 large handfuls of Spring Mix containing red & green varieties of lettuce, chard, arugula etc.

Toss all the ingredients, except the Spring Mix, in a large bowl. Cover and let it rest for 15 - 30 mins. Serve on a bed of the Spring Mix. I did not add or feel the need to add any additional salt to this.
