Part of what makes spring such a refreshing season is the change from a bleak, grey landscape to a sudden burst of bright spring flowers dotting the ground and fresh new leaves adorning the trees. Let your table follow suit by hosting this brightly colored three bean salad. It's a great treat after a long winter and certainly adds a little zest to your menu. I use red wine vinegar in this recipe, but don't be afraid to play around with other combinations. The number of flavored vinegars available in your local grocery store is sure to impress you.
1 - 14 oz. can artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
1 large tomato, coarsely chopped
Slightly steam the green beans in boiling water for 2 minutes. Rinse them in cold water and let them drain thoroughly.
Combine next seven ingredients (vinegar through pepper) in a large bowl; mix well. Add green beans and remaining ingredients (carrot through tomato) and toss gently to coat.
Serves: 8
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
This simple turkey salad recipe gets its zest from the addition of a sweet relish and honey mustard. It makes a stunningly good companion to the three bean salad and is the perfect way to get you in a "springy" mood. I like serving it in toasted pitas because it helps keep this slightly messy turkey salad in its place! If you find that March has brought you a delightfully warm and sunny day, pack this neat spring combo into a picnic basket and find yourself a nice spot to enjoy your meal. If March isn't as inviting, spread your picnic blanket in your living room and have yourself a carpet picnic! Help create a spring atmosphere by treating yourself to a fresh spring bouquet of flowers. Happy spring!
2/3 c. low fat salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip)
3 T. sweet pickle relish
3 tsp. honey mustard
8 sliced pitas
Combine the turkey, celery, green onions, and pepper. Stir in the eggs, salad dressing, relish, and mustard. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes. Serve by placing about 1/4 c. of the turkey salad into each half of a lightly toasted pita. If desired, add a few fresh onion sprouts to each half and enjoy.
