I was inspired to create this recipe first by a delicious bean salad I had out for dinner the other night and then spotting a beautiful butternut squash at the farmers market this week...probably the last one I'll have this season! Basically I took these two "ingredients" and combined them with a light and fresh dressing of lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. The combination worked perfectly!
BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND BEAN SALAD FOR ONE 1/4 cup black beans 1/4 cup white beans 1 scallion, sliced 2 tbsp red bell pepper, minced 1 tbsp red onion, minced 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice 2 romaine heart leaves roughly chopped 1/2 cup roasted butternut squash, cubed 1/4 avocado, diced crushed red pepper flakes (optional) Prepare all ingredients from beans through lemon juice. Combine these ingredients in a small bowl and set aside to let marinate. While the beans marinate prepare the romaine, squash and avocado. Combine all ingredients in a large salad bowl, top with fresh cracked salt and pepper (and optional red pepper flakes). Toss well seasoning to taste. Enjoy! Comments are closed.
