Lunch today included lots of pretty colors.
I topped a big bowl of spring mix with celery, carrots, two MorningStar Farms spicy black bean burgers and pomegranate dressing. I absolutely love using black bean burgers as a salad topper. They add so much flavor and the punch of protein helps fill me up!
The dressing I used on my salad was Marzetti’s simply dressed pomegranate vinaigrette that I bought on sale at Publix on Sunday.
I love this stuff and always stock up whenever I see a deal!
If you scrunched your nose up at the thought of black bean burgers and pomegranate salad dressing, I don’t blame you. It sounds like a totally bizarre combination, but oddly enough, it worked. I was craving black bean burgers but wanted a little sweetness in my salad, so I decided to combine the two and was pleasantly surprised.

Carlie says
I have never tried any of their products, but would love to try the “chicken nuggets” or the breakfast sausage! I am a vegetarian but the only product I have tried similar to that is Gardein, and I can’t get it often because it’s a bit pricier than just buying tofu and making my own meals.
