We try to have salads as often as possible, but it’s a pain to wash and dry the salad leaves. This bean salad is filling and full of protein and other awesome things. It can be had as a meal in itself or with some garlic bread and soup on the side.

Ingredients:

For a meal for one

• ½ cup boiled black-eyed peas
• ¼ cup roasted peanuts 
• 1 small tomato, cubed
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1 small carrot, diced
• Few pieces of pickled radish or onion
• A few olives
• ¼ cup of semi-ripe mango, diced (or Totapuri mango), optional 
• 2 prunes, cut into small pieces
• Coriander and Mint leaves to garnish

Salad dressing

I like the store-bought Sweet onion dressing for this one 

You can also quickly make your own dressing with 3 parts olive oil to 1 part lemon (or vinegar). Add a teaspoon of honey or sugar. Mix well and pour over the salad.

Enjoy your health boost for the day!
