Sometimes I just want an easy batch of lunches for the work week that doesn't take a ton of time. This dish is great because it also doubles as a wonderful side dish to chicken or fish for dinners as well. I love a lighter item like this salad for lunch because the protein in the beans keeps me energized and feeling like I had a heartier meal. You could also add cheese to this dish to make it a bit more filling as well. I would recommend feta or possibly halloumi for this one.


The vinaigrette or dressing is so simple to make as well! It is two ingredients are you ready? Lemon juice and red wine vinegar! Season with salt and pepper and you are all set. All that lemon juice helps stabilize this dish and keep it fresher for longer. I had mine in the fridge for the whole work week-about 4-5 days and it was still wonderful. Talk about simple.


I hope you enjoy!
