How are you spending your time during lockdown? If you ask me, nothing has changed for me apart from the feeling that we are locked up in & its pretty scary to be out right now. Although I still try to worry less & focus on having a good routine through out the day & find ways to keep myself busy.
One thing which keeps me busy is cooking & experimenting in kitchen & also trying out recipes from my favourite cookbooks. I also focus on cooking quick & easy meals at home which saves time & are nutrient dense. Personally I am a big fan of salads, I love to pair them up with most of my meals. Especially now when it is so hot, they can be very refreshing.
Lately I have been experimenting with various beans & legumes as a main ingredient in my salads. I love how it makes a salad a complete meal on its own. Thats because it is rich in amino acids the protein building blocks our body needs, are also loaded with antioxidants & rich in folate.
Today I made a double bean salad at home with few ingredients & it was very light & nourishing. It also gave me the feeling of fullness as these beans are rich in fiber & have healthful starches. I thought I will share this simple recipe with you to try at home. Its effortless & all you need is few basic ingredients to make a fabulous salad at home.
This salad is also great for vegans & vegetarians looking for variety of plant based quick meals to make at home. Check it out & let me know how it was if you made it :)
