This recipe is going to be on repeat this summer! Have you heard of the blue zones? They are the areas of the world where the majority of the population have less chronic diseases and higher longevity. Their diets were studied to see if there are any themes and they found that people in these regions generally consume legumes every single day.

If you are struggling to get your legume intake in I highly recommend making this salad. It is an easy and delicious way to get enough legumes in your diet.

I’m allergic to cashews. Any substitution suggestions?

  You can omit the cashews entirely or use crunchy chickpeas, pine nuts, pistachio, etc for the crunch!
