Tuesdays At The Table - Bean & Greens Salad

Happy Tuesday, ladies!!  (For those of you reading this Monday night - you still have time to enter my mystery giveaway; it closes at midnight!)  Did anyone else get the powerful thunderstorms that Boston did?  Can I admit that I was secretly hoping the power would go out?

Warmer weather is coming...and this week I'm sharing a lighter dish.  I just love a good salad during the summer.  :-)
(This week's recipe comes from the Land O Lakes "Simply Spring" magazine.)

Beans & Greens Salad

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans, drained
1/2 cup vinaigrette or Italian dressing
1 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
1/4 cup sliced green onion
4 cups baby spinach
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 oz provolone or mozzarella cheese, cubed

Combine beans, dressing and lime zest.  Stir well and refridgerate until well chilled (and ready to use).  Before serving, stir in remaining ingredients.

    I am so glad it is spring, we planted our garden on Saturday and can't wait to make the fresh veggies from the garden. Your salad looks like spring and very delicious. Thank you for hosting and have a great week!
