Salads!

Using dried beans as part of a winter staple is easy.  Soak, let sit and cook.  They make the kitchen warm and smell nice.  I use a combo of pintos, black beans, red beans, Anazasi beans to add diversity and more nutrition to the mix.  Fresh greens over organic blue chips, a few extra veggies – carrots, peppers, and radishes – with avocado and blob on Greek yogurt and a favorite salsa  – top with your favorite grated cheese and you are golden!  Pair with a good microbrewed beer or homemade marg and it is a small fiesta!  Salad!  dg
