Zesty Tahini Dressing
So, Whole Foods makes some no-oil dressings under their Health Starts Here brand. Everything they make under that name is from their fresh kitchens. You'll only find it in the refrigerated produce section. I've counted maybe 7 in the last year. They are always changing, I guess depending on the demand at each location. It's mostly just by chance that you will find them. I wish they were more readily available, but it has happened to me before that I go looking for them and find none. I certainly don't want this to happen to you, but there you have it. When you find them, rejoice! :)
The only sure thing about today's salad is that it had to be cold, crunchy, and refreshing. It is hot and humid in DC today and I was really looking forward to lunch! I like to toss everything in a big bowl first and then pick out the lettuce onto a plate and pile everything on top.
Salad: Earthbound Farms spring mix, steamed green beans, Zima sweet grape tomatoes, garbanzo beans and lentils.

Green Bean & Salsa Salad
I love, love, love salsa. Fresh, finely-diced is my favorite. It's also one of the top things I don't make myself. I just don't have the time for that much mincing of veggies. For this reason, it contains salt. Trust me, it's impossible to find salsa without salt. I've tried. A lot.
I made this up one day when I was out of lettuce AND had left-over steamed green beans. It is crazy good! I use a fork and knife to cut the green beans as I dig into the pile of salsa. I also add lemon juice to make everything swimmy.
French green beans, garbanzo beans, salsa: from the refrigerated produce section of most grocery stores. This one is from Trader Joe's.
