What could you do in 10 minutes? Run a mile. Watch 1/3 of your favorite sitcom. Call your mom. Ten minutes can be a surprisingly efficient period of time to complete much needed tasks or to regroup before continuing on with your day. Today dedicate this time to meal preparation. We introduce the 10 minute three bean salad. A perfect example of how you can stay healthy and effective when you have a short time to spare.
Our Healthy Three Bean Salad offers an excellent addition to any day. Kidney, garbanzo and black beans create a delicious combination for the base of your salad. Each bean offers a different color and texture to bring the dish alive. Once mixed with lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt and black pepper a more fragrant flavor begins to emerge. Finally, bell peppers, parsley and onion add vegetables to complete your salad. A 10 minute salad is no longer a myth, but a mere 10 minutes away from beings yours. It’s proof that healthy doesn’t have to be synonymous with time consuming.
