High-Protein Dense Bean Salad Recipe

You have two choices. You can layer this in a large salad serving bowl for a nice presentation, or you can just mix all of this together in a large bowl if you don't have to serve it to guests. I will demonstrate the layered version here.

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

4 cups mixed greens
15 oz. canned chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
15 oz. canned cannellini beans (or any white bean)
½ lb. cooked chicken breasts (cooked any way you like best. I used garlic powder, salt and pepper - Chop or shred)
⅓ cup chopped onions (red or yellow)
1 cup chopped tomatoes
4 large hard-boiled eggs

Dressing Ingredients

3 tbsp. lemon juice (fresh is best)
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. prepared yellow mustard (no sugar added)
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. smoked paprika (regular paprika works in a pinch)
salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

The Salad

In a large serving bowl, lay down a bed of lettuce, spreading it out evenly.
Top the lettuce with the beans, then top that with the chopped or shredded chicken.
Next, add a layer of onions and then tomatoes.
Finally, add the chopped eggs.
Stir together all the dressing ingredients until well blended.
Pour the dressing over the top and serve for presentation.
Toss well and serve.
