Have a backyard barbecue coming up?
by Fit Community

Have a backyard barbecue coming up? FitSugar reader TinaFFF has a Mexican-inspired salad recipe, which she posted in our Healthy Recipe group.

Looking for a way to lighten things up and brighten up the flavors at my get togethers, I re-created a three bean salad I once fell in love with at a party. Filled with protein and bursting with flavor, this three bean and feta salad makes a wonderful side dish to add to any group gathering. Or, have it as a meal at home — pump it up with added vegetables, pasta, quinoa, or protein.

Even Bean Haters Will Love This Bean Salad

Over the Summer we took advantage of the season's wide variety of produce and shared our best salad recipes.

Over the Summer we took advantage of the season's wide variety of produce and shared our best salad recipes. However, one salad, the bean salad, was overlooked. Luckily reader Lengel has shared her rendition of bean salad in the Kitchen Goddess group on the YumSugar Community. Want your recipes and photos to be shared here on YumSugar? Start participating in the community!
Lengel, who has her own food blog, Working Girls Kitchen, is not a fan of bean salads. Although she finds them to be totally unappealing, she describes this salad recipe — which comes from another popular food blogger, Heidi Swanson — to be simple, yummy, and surprising. Pan-roasted carrots and fresh dill take ordinary canned beans to a whole new level. I agree with Lengel when she says, "this is a great dish for any picnic and will work great for work lunches."

One of my favorite things to do in Spring is go on picnics. I pack up a small sack — making sure to add a bottle opener! — text some friends, grab YumJimmy and head to the park. One of the best parts is all the random snacks everyone brings. I'm always looking for a new addition to our usual repertoire, and when I saw this bean salad from TeamSugar member audreystar, I knew I had found a winner. Her recipe is handed down from her aunt, and it looks easy to throw together and great for any sort of get together. To get the recipe for her auntie's beloved bean salad, just read more

My brother has recently decided to change his diet.

My brother has recently decided to change his diet. Instead of eating tons of fast food, he wants to consume more vegetables. I suggested he eat one hearty and filling salad a day. This two bean salad is perfect for him because it's chock full of flavorful vegetables. The beans provide much needed protein and a simple but well seasoned dressing is made with balsamic vinegar and dijon mustard.
