Salads & Sides
Confetti Bean Salad
A fresh and flavourful bean salad that is simple to toss together! Packed with protein and fiber, this is a wonderfully filling lunch (I like to add it to a bed of greens), or serve it as a healthy side at dinner.
Method
Prepare the brown rice according to package direction. Allow the rice to cool in a large bowl in the fridge.
Once the rice has cooled off, drain the cans of beans and corn and add them to the rice. Add chopped peppers and onion.
Add all dressing ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk to combine. Pour over the salad and toss.
Chill salad in the fridge before serving.
Enjoy :)
Notes
Want to get creative?
- Try substituting another whole grain for the rice. I've tried this recipe with quinoa and farro, and both were delicious.
- Try a combination of fresh herbs instead of using just parsley. Cilantro, basil, or mint sound refreshing to me.
