Bean Salad

Beans are an excellent source of protein. 1 cup of red kidbey beans have 16 grams of protein. In comparison, one egg has about 6 grams per regular size egg. Beans have plenty of protein so don't worry if you decide to limit the amount of animal proteins that you have been eating. I just made a really good and pretty easy bean salad. I used 2 cups of dry red beans that had been soaked over night and boiled for 1 1/2 hours. You can use canned, but fresh tastes a little bit better. Dice green and red peppers as well as some purple onion. The sauce is 1 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup agave nector. I put cracked pepper, garlic powder, chili powder and a little bit of ginger in the sauce and poured it over the beans. It was really good and will be great to put over lettuce. Enjoy!!
