Adding Protein to Salads
I love salads, but find that I am hungry just a few hours after eating a huge salad if I don't have some protein in them. Grilled chicken is my "go to" for adding protein when I eat out at a restaurant, but at home, when I'm cutting vegetables for a salad, I try to find other ways to add some protein. One easy way is to add some beans. I call this Cucumber and Kidney Bean Salad a protein salad because I added a 15 oz can of drained kidney beans. There are only 6 ingredients - with one "surprise" ingredient in the dressing that I bet you haven't tried lately.
