Pinto Bean Salad-Easy Salad Recipes

January 19, 2015 by PadhuSankar 1 Comment

Myself and my children love all kind of salads and we can have it any time of the day. I used to have salad even as a snack, if I am hungry in between meals. When you make salad, make sure that you use organic vegetables as they are free from pesticides. Also use fresh vegetables for making salad. Most salads are low in calories and can help you lose weight. As salads are rich in fiber, they help to reduce cholesterol and also prevent constipation. Having a bowl of salad everyday keeps us energetic, refreshed and of course healthy. Today we will learn how to make pinto bean salad following this simple recipe.
