Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 can kidney Beans ((1 x 15oz can, drained & rinsed))
1 can chickpeas/garbanzo beans ((1 x 15oz can, drained & rinsed))
1 can cannellini beans ((1 x 15oz can, drained & rinsed))
3 stalks celery (chopped)
1 small red onion (finely chopped)
3 tbsp olive oil
5 tbsp apple cider vinegar / white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp sweetener (I used splenda)
1/2 tsp ground sea salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp mustard (I used Dijon mustard - optional)
1 - 2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 handful of flat leaved parsley (chopped - optional)

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse the beans and place in a large serving bowl.
  • Chop the celery and red onion and add to the beans, giving it a quick mix to combine.
  • Next, make the dressing by placing all of the ingredients into a small jug or bowl and use a whisk to combine.
  • Pour the dressing over the beans and mix so that all the beans are coated with dressing.
  • Sprinkle over the parsley, if using, and stir in.
  • Although the salad can be eaten straight away, it tastes even better if left in the fridge for a couple of hours so that all the flavours can soak into the beans.
  • Bring back to room temperature before serving.

LOW POINT SALAD



Low Point Salad image

This is a great salad that my WWatcher leader gave out. It is a reg salad that she always made, and then she played around with it and lowered the points. Still has great flavor, you will never miss the fat! 2/3 cup is 2 1/2 points. Servings are a guesstimate, because everyone might eat a different serving, we are not all WW out there. But what an easy way to reduce our fat and calorie intake, it was really painless. Served this, and no one noticed that it was low fat, just thought it was a delicious salad. Now that's what I like!
