This high-fiber salad will make a great lunch option or side dish for dinner. If you want to add more protein, add in cooked chicken pieces – or even boiled eggs. However, it is wonderful as is!

Chef Tips:

• Feel free to add cooked peas or use your favorite beans for this salad in place of mixed beans.
• The combination of the three fresh herbs is what makes this dish sing – so be very generous with the amounts. Once finely chopped, each should fill a tablespoon so that you will be adding three tablespoons of chopped herbs to the mixture.
