    Eat Your Colors!

    Black and White Bean Salad could be the perfect poster for the USDA slogan "Eat Your Colors!" Different colors of vegetables and fruits each contain a variety of vitamins and minerals. Green, yellow and red peppers are all great sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. And they're a good source of folate and dietary fiber. The red peppers are especially high in these nutrients!

    Which nutrients are in black and white bean salad?

    White and black beans are great sources of protein and fiber. They're low fat too. Black beans are high in folate and magnesium and they have about 10 times the antioxidants of oranges! Who knew?!

    Nutrients in tomatoes

    The other red veggie in this salad, tomatoes, are nutrients stars as well. Did you know tomatoes are the major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene? Lycopene has been linked to many health benefits such as reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. Go tomatoes!

    And that dressing!

    This yummy salad all comes together with a fresh dressing that kicks up the flavor a few more notches! Salsa, red wine vinegar, cilantro, jalapeno, and some seasonings combine to create a yummy, no-fat dressing. You get a lot of crunch in this salad too. It's a great blend of textures, colors, nutrients and flavors! What are you waiting for?
