Mediterranean Bean Salad + Loft Favorites on Sale

May 10, 2017

I had all intensions of making this new Cauliflower rice bowl recipe for this week but got side tracked (and lazy) .  It will be coming next week.  Today I am sharing a bean salad I made for my lunches this week.  I shared this on my instastories and several of you commented you wanted the recipe.   If you like beans you will love this salad.  I have been having it for lunch most days with a little hummus and a few pita chips- super tasty.   If you make this ahead of time I do find it tastes better once you let the salad come to room temperature.  It just helps all the flavors settle in.   This would make a great dinner side paired with grilled chicken or shrimp.  Enjoy!
