When the heat of summer makes you not want to cook…it’s time to make salads! Hit up the local farmers market or produce stand to get some fresh tomatoes, bell peppers and more to add to a bean and pasta salad. Make a taco salad with black beans, grilled chicken or steak, salsa and cheese on a bed of lettuce. Beans and fresh veggies are a great combination. I’m not talking about just adding garbanzos to a green salad. I want you to use your imagination! Here are some salads from our recipe library to get you started.
