For those of you who have been following my blogs, I've been working at adding more fiber to my diet and this bean salad definitely hits the mark.  This is a very pretty dish and easy to make.  I used it for a party to make sure there was a substantial dish for my vegan friends.  This salad is also great for picnics, since it doesn't have mayonnaise which does not do well in the heat.  As I work on my goal of increasing fiber, I find my diet is automatically becoming more "plant forward". I have just been rereading The China Study which certainly makes a compelling case for a totally plant diet.  Though I haven't adopted that yet, I know increasing the fiber, which is only in plants, is a good and healthy.
