summer salad

[Guest guest]

So, a recipe that you can stuff your face with and not feel guilty:

 

Summer salad

 

-1 15 oz can (2 cups) pinto, white, red beans (or any mild flavored beans)

-small head green lettuce in bite-sized pieces

-a few pieces of leaf spinach, also in pieces

-1scallion, chopped

-1 small or 1/2 large green bell pepper, chopped

-4-6 fresh sprigs parsley, chopped -- important, not optional

-1/2 to 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese

-2-3 Tbsp yellow prepared mustard

-1 Tbsp cider or balsamic vinegar

-salt and pepper

 

Toss and serve. Makes 2 meal-sized servings, or 4 side servings.

 

I like it strong, and add a lot of mustard. You can also add black olives,

tomatoes, shredded cheese, etc.
