Summer Bean Salad

This photo does it no credit! This bean salad is healthy, and a great way to get your protein! It makes a huge amount of bean salad, and you can certainly alter it to your liking. Personally, I hate beans, but this salad is so good, I can't resist.

Mix all of the following ingredients together in a bowl and enjoy!

• 1 can of mixed beans, drained, washed & let to strain
• 1/2 cup of cucumber, diced
• 3 to 4 stalks of celery, washed and sliced
• 1/2 cup of green pepper 
• 1 cup of red bell pepper (I used about half a cup of red pepper, half a cup of yellow pepper, and half a cup of orange pepper- it just makes it look more approachable. And yummy!)
• 6 green onions, sliced (the entire onion, not just the white part)
• 1/2 feta cheese (feta can be expensive, so whatever you have works- but the more the better. You know what they say- feta, the cheese that tastes beta!)
• 2 tbsp of fresh, chopped dill (make sure to chop it as fine as you can handle, or else you'll get it stuck in your mouth for a while!)

Dressing:

• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 tbsp canola oil

Now, I think that the salad is a little dry when theres only this much dressing, probably cause I chop up so many veggies to put in, so try it out, definitely play around with what your personal tastes are.

This salad lasts for 4 or 5 days, then it starts to get a little mushy. Just keep it covered or sealed in a refrigerated area and you should be good. Hope you enjoy!
