3 Bean Salad

A Few Words…

I truly believe that we learn something new everyday. Last week I learned that my son Jarred likes bean salad. Has he ever bothered to ask me to make him any? Not once, although he has told me how expensive it is to buy at the bakery/deli stores who carry takeout foods.

Friday night I made a bean salad to show him how easy it is and how spices make all the difference. There’s a store not too far from where I live that only sells spices. Spice Station in NDG is not only fabulous, but the friendliest people work there! I used a blend called Greco Power in my 3 Bean Salad, but if you’re not from Montreal and can’t get to the store, look at the recipe for the list of dried herbs that are used in their blend:)

This is a great salad that’s full of protein and fiber and an easy dish to make if you have extra or unexpected company for dinner!

I’d love to hear from you!
