Beans are great for preventing heart disease, lowering cholesterol and getting a good source of protein into your plant-based diet. They are also very versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. I remember visiting the farmers market before making this salad to get recipe inspiration and came across an amazing navy bean salad. I immediately tried to adapt it by incorporating lentils, black beans, and red bell pepper to give it an extra crunch.

What’s so awesome about this bean salad is that it can last about 3-4 days in the fridge and you can adapt the recipe for larger quantities. It’s also gluten-free and suitable for a variety of diets.
