This is a nice variation on a bean salad that is easy to make, tasty and nourishing. I derived this recipe from a product that is offered by Farm Boy at their deli counter. This recipe has fewer ingredients and no oil to make it easier to produce and more in keeping with our no added oils approach. We also do not add salt and recommend that you either prepare your own beans or ensure that you purchase low sodium canned beans.
I serve it with salad greens and some olives and tomatoes to make a filling and nutritious meal. According to the Farm Boy recipe a cup of this salad will provide about 9 grams of protein and about 150 calories.
Horseradish Bean Salad
Horseradish bean salad uses a mixture of beans and other nutritional foods with the added tang of horseradish to provide a great meal for lunches and snacks. The salad can be served as soon as it is made, but the flavor does improve if it is left the in fridge for a couple of hours.

Instructions
- Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Serve and enjoy! You can vary the bean mixture you use depending on what you have available.
