Weekends were made for splurging, which means lots of salty and sugary foods that our family would not normally eat. By Monday I always feel as though we all need a good salad to detox and get us back on track. Being a runner, and a Mama chasing after two small children I usually need more than just a mixed green salad to satisfy me. I have found that adding beans to salad is much more filling and adds variety to an otherwise just plain mixed green salad. For this salad I added Northern Beans because I love their buttery flavor! I rarely use dressing, however for this one I used balsamic vinegar and included a dash of Italian seasoning – enjoy!
Ingredients (2 servings)
3 cups pre-washed organic mixed greens

Combined all veggie ingredients and beans. Splash balsamic vinegar or favorite preferred dressing. Finish off with a dash of salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
