From Grandma Joan (sh'e also provided information and serving suggestions)
½ cup is a good serving size for me, but I always want more. Any fresh veggies can of course be cut up and added. Also cranberries, blueberries or cut up mandarin oranges.
This concoction keeps well for several days in the fridge.
Green salad: Toss some in a green salad.
Soup: make a liquid of Vegetable broth, a little bit of golden cream of mushroom soup, water and a little bit of vinegar, or you could add more of the salsa or canned tomato.
Put it in a bowl and heat in the microwave. You could add pasta, rice or croutons. I haven’t done this yet, but you could make a casserole with pasta or rice added. You can take it to work or school in a small plastic container.
Bon appetite!
- 1 container low sodium salsa/or 1 can low sodium diced tomatoes
- 1 onion/or one bunch green onions, chopped
- A lot of celery, chopped
- 5-7 kinds of beans, canned or frozen
- 2 handfuls of nuts
- Take a medium to large bowl and dump in a container of salsa or a can of diced tomatoes.
- Cut up onions (green ones are especially yummy) and a lot of celery cut up in “squares” Dump into bowl. (Celery is rumored to be the only food that burns more calories to digest than the calories it actually has.)
- Pick out 5 or 7 or so types of beans either canned or frozen. (I look for cans that say 50% less sodium. I put them in a colander and rinse out the liquid and a lot more sodium. I usually use frozen baby lima beans, Edamamie (soy) beans and green peas because you can buy a smaller amount at a time and the Edamamie beans are kind of expensive, but important because they are a complete protein.) Cook for a few minutes, drain and throw into the mix.
- You can also add nuts (Yummy! I like walnuts, but cashews are unbelievably delicious in there. Of course look for no salt added.)
- This is already delicious, but you can add to the mix or individually add to your serving, raspberry vinaigrette (my favorite) or balsamic vinegar.
