Being a vegetarian is not difficult with a few simple ingredients, a fabulous recipe and a little know-how.  I hear all the time from people that they do not know how to eat good foods and thus get bored on a non-meat diet. This salad is full of protein and is extremely filling.  I have created a recipe fit for a king.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large bunch of arugula, chopped
  • 2 cups of Romaine lettuce chopped,
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 green pepper chopped
  • 1/2 cup of cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 cup of warm bean (pinto, white or red beans)
  • 1/2 cup of assorted cheeses (goat, mozzarella or Gouda spiced - suggestions)
  • Extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice for dressing
Directions:

Place all the ingredients in a big bowl.  Season with salt and pepper or your favorite spice.  Spritz the entire salad with cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and then add in the lemon juice.  Serve in a big platter bowl.
