Fiesta Salad



This recipe is very simple, filling and low calorie. There are lots of variations too. You could substitute tomatoes for the peppers. Avocadoes would be wonderful too. I actually bought this salad at Real Foods Market the other day and went home to try it on my own because it was so tasty! I love bell peppers, and so do Miles and Monet, but Elise and Jared would have preferred it with tomatoes instead. The picture above is of the recipe doubled.

Here are the ingredients:

1 can of Kidney Beans


1 cup rice


1 cup corn


small amount of green onions


cilantro


2 bell peppers diced


Taco seasoning. I use the kind pictures that Vita Mix sells at Costco when they do their demonstrations. You could use regular taco seasoning.


Juice from 1 lime

This makes 5-6 1 cup servings.
Each serving is 127 calories, 5.5 grams protein, 6 grams of fiber and 0 g fat.
