bean salad

My two youngest kids are doing the “Defi moi J’croque” at school and I thought I’d play along with them. My son loves fruits and vegetables, however with my youngest it is a struggle.  With her, I’ll be modifying the challenge a bit to get her to at least try new fruits and vegetables.  The challenge runs from today until March 27.

Since I’m going to play along with them, I’ve made a bean salad packed with vegetables. I really don’t think they will eat it but it is one of my favorite quick salads that doubles as a quick lunch.

There you have it. It’s really quite simple. I love simplicity.  I used the ingredients I had on hand today but during the summer when the farmer’s markets are full of freshness, I mix it up even more.

Get lost in freshness. Go on.  🙂
