2 Bean Zucchini Salad (THM:E)

The other day I was so hungry for a 3 Bean Salad. My Mom and Dad used to always make it in the summer time and it just sounded good.
Well, a few weeks ago I took advantage of a great deal on a small hand-held spiralizer on Amazon. I was looking for something to use it on and decided to come up with a Trim Healthy Mama friendly bean salad. Only with my salad, I used spiralized zucchini, along with peppers, kidney beans, and chickpeas. Oh wow! It was so good! For Trim Healthy Mama, this recipe falls under the E meal category due to the fact that it has beans in it that are higher in carbs. To make this salad a complete meal, just add some low fat protein such as salmon or cubed chicken breast. Yum!
Now I can’t wait to share the recipe with you! It would make a great salad to make over the July 4th holiday. Even if you don’t have a spiralizer, you can still make this salad! Just chop up your zucchini instead of spiralizing it. Enjoy!
2 BEAN ZUCCHINI SALAD (THM:E)
Salad:
- 3 small zucchini, raw, spiralized
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 can light red kidney beans, drained
- 1 can chickpeas, drained
Marinade:
- 1 cup vinegar (distilled white)
- 1/8 teaspoon Stevia powder
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 Tablespoon minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Begin by mixing up the marinade in a small bowl. Allow to set and soften the onion and garlic while you prepare the veggies.
In a large bowl, mix all the vegetables and canned beans. Pour marinade over all and stir well.
You can eat immediately or store in the refrigerator over night to allow the marinade to work!
To make this a complete meal, just add a low fat protein, such as some turkey breast, salmon, or fat-free lunch meat.
