Vegetable and Bean Salad

Naturally, I absolutely LOVE salads. I eat them whether it’s a warm, sunny summer day or a brick cold winter evening. I eat them whether I’m trying to shed a few pounds, or simply just enjoying life. I love salads!

To add to this, I love experimenting with foods and if you’ve ever been around me when ordering food, you know I am the customization QUEEN (my friends and family know what I’m talking about, haha)!

With that being said, it only makes sense that this fresh vegetable, corn, and bean salad is one of my faves! It combines some of my favourite, and not so favourite foods into a well balanced meal of perfection!

You’ll Love This Mixed Bean and Veggie Salad! Here’s Why…

  • Simple – this recipe uses beans, veggies, a simple herb blend and olive oil, making it a simple tasty salad!
  • Customizable – if you prefer pinto beans over black beans, feel free to swap it out, or any of the ingredients for your favourites!
  • Quick and Easy – ready in less than 30 minutes, which means you’re in and out the kitchen in no time.


Variations & Recipe Notes

Beans – I do acknowledge that not everyone likes beans or some prefer one type of bean over another (pinto over black, red kidney over chick peas etc. ). So I say feel free to sub in any beans you personally enjoy, and omit any that you don’t! I’ve tried this recipe a million different ways and it ALWAYS tastes great!

Throw These In – Another great thing about this salad is you can spice it up with some jalapeños and red chili peppers or you can add some cheese. It also pairs very well with chicken. Try it barbecued… delicious!

Say No to Extra Liquid – Ensure you strain your vegetables & beans thoroughly, especially tomatoes; you do not want a soggy salad! It also helps to keep your salad fresh and crunchy if you have leftovers!

Recipe Notes

Taste Test – you may need to add more italian seasoning, olive oil, salt etc. depending on your quantities and taste preferences.
