When heading to a BBQ earlier this summer, I needed a healthy and delicious salad to bring and this definitely hit the spot. It wasn’t too healthified that others couldn’t enjoy but didn’t have any sugar or junk in it for those trying to eat really clean. Beans are packed with protein so this filled me up and kept me away from snacking on too many chips!
