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.

I’ve never had MorningStar products before, but the black bean burgers look amazing! I also love using burgers as salad toppers, so I’d be happy to try any variety of burger!
Hi Julie! I LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUV (yes, THAT much, ha!) the MorningStar Farms Hot & Spicy Sausage Patties. So delish! I cut them up and mix in with my egg whites, peppers, onions and salsa. Think I just talked myself into breakfast for dinner 😉
I love their black bean burgers, but it’s beena while since I’ve picked them up at the grocery store!

I LOVE their mushroom burger…. great with cheese in a sandwhich!
I love the burgers, all of them. And I have a soft spot for the corn dogs. They just bring back good childhood memories!
I love the crumbles! In fact, my boyfriend chooses the crumbles over regular ground meat for everything including pasta dishes and tacos. We easily pick up a box of black bean burgers, original grillers, and crumbles every time we are at the store.
My favorite MorningStar products are the spicy black bean burger and the California turkey burger with avocado! I top the black bean with jalapenos and pepper jack and the California with Swiss. They are both unbelievable!!!
Something I haven’t had yet but I would love to try are the morning sausage links or the chicken burger.
I LOVE Morningstar Farms products! They are the best vegetarian “fake meat” products I have ever had. My meat loving boyfriend agrees that they are delicious and always steals my Buffalo Chick’n wings when I buy them! For lunch today I had a grilled chick’n patty and the spicy black bean burgers are my go-to for grilling out with friends and family! Great giveaway!!
I buy the little “sausage” patties all the time at Costco. Great for lunch at work.
Oh where to begin?!! I could eat the buffalo nuggets every day. The griller crumbles make awesome tacos, and I looooove the black bean burgers! They are my favorite faux-meat company!

I love those buffalo “chicken wing” flavored ones. With some blue cheese.YUM!
I LOVE Morningstar’s breakfast sausages —- I love breakfast foods and I really missed meat with my breakies when I decided to follow a vegetarian diet. These are a great treat for special brunches or when we go away camping or to a cottage.

I’m just like you and love the weirdest combos on my salads! I always think, hey, if I like all this stuff separately, what the heck, let’s try it all together! I haven’t tried any MorningStar products yet but I would definitely try the black bean or any other burger right away.
I’ve never had anything from Morningstar, but I love black bean burgers and would want to try those!
