Grinder Inspired Bare Beans Salad
This is an easy and filling salad that can be a meal on its own or fresh side dish. Inspired by the grinder sandwich popular in New England, this satisfies the hungriest crowd without filling up on carbs from the bread. With plant-based protein from the beans you can make it all vegetarian and/or vegan by omitting the meat and cheese and it will still fill you up.
