Cannellini Bean Salad

Posted on

 

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/3 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/3 cup carrot, chopped
  • 1 and 3/4 cup (1 can) cannellini beans
  • 1/2 cup red onion, chopper
  • 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp chopped, fresh oregano (1/4 tsp dried)
  • 1 cup chopped tomato or 1 can Ro-tel* (unsalted)
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Dry sauté onions, celery and carrot until slightly tender (still crunchy).

  2. Stir in beans and heat.

  3. Add remaining ingredients and toss gently.

Notes

Leave out the salt if using a salted Ro-tel. I use unsalted Ro-tel and add an amount I think is appropriate.

This can be served hot or cold. 

Substitutions can easily be made. Navy beans or great northern; different kinds of vinegar; increase or decrease any ingredient.

The use of “McDougall” materials in any form is not an endorsement of the classes being presented, however, a Food Coach-style meal plan results in many medical benefits as well as weight control. The Food Coach Plan is not a controlled situation as the 10-Day Live-in McDougall Program is. Anticipating those kinds of results can only be achieved from a 10-day controlled environment. As the Food Coach recommends, you should always check with your healthcare provider before changing your diet or medications.
