This inexperienced bean salad was completely loved together with the extra conventional Thanksgiving fare that it accompanied on the vacation desk this yr.
I serve the salad at room temperature, making it a simple dish that doesn’t should be reheated for the meal.
I used what I had available which included, multi coloured cherry tomatoes, canned artichokes, roasted pink pepper strips, and sliced almonds.
The salad seemed fairly, was low in fats, and was contemporary and scrumptious. An ideal gentle facet dish for our heavy meal for our group of 13.
The Full Thanksgiving Meal
The host served turkey and stuffing, mushroom Wellington (attractive), quinoa and mushrooms, candy potato tzimmis, Roasted Brussels sprouts with a honey dijon dressing, salad with hearts of palm, and do-it-yourself cookies, cake, and a wholesome fruit salad. There was loads for this vegan to eat!
Missed My Household
