4 Bean Salad
Makes: 6 cups • Total Time: 10 minutes • FODMAP rating: high

The perfect bean salad to use as a side, eat on its own, or take it to any gathering! Beans offer fiber and protein to our diets and are a gut healthy food. Be sure to transition slowly if you aren’t accustomed to consuming large quantities of beans. The gut bacteria need to adapt to eating more plants and starting with smaller quantities of this bean salad mixed with grains or with greens is a great way to enjoy it.
