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.

veggie burgers are the best!
I’ve never had Morning Star products, but always game to try new things. Love the fact that they are vegetarian since I attempt to eat veggies all week and only have meat on the weekend – the black bean burgers would be the perfect substitution! May have to stop by the store tonight and find the pomegranate dressing and the burgers – the combination looks and sounds amazing!

My favorite thing by Morningstar is the black bean burgers, LOVE them!!
I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 11 years old (I’m 18 now) aaand I love. love. love Morning Star. Before going veggie, I was always a fan of the soy sausage (my mom, although not veggie, liked it to be healthier). I also love the black bean burgers (classic) and the chik’n nuggets. 🙂
Yum for a college student like me!

My favorite morningstar product is the California Turk’y burgers, so yummy!
The MorningStar Chik’n Nuggets are AWESOME! They’re so crispy and delicious. Sometimes I’ll throw them in a bowl with buffalo sauce to give em a kick.

I loooove the buffalo chik’n nuggets!!! Warm them up and make quesadillas with them. They’re fantastic! I also love the chik’n patties.

Our freezer is always full of the stuff!
