Labor Day has come and gone and even though I enjoyed all of the barbecues and cocktails I need to start eating a little healthier. Seriously Hawaii is right around the corner! The weather is still nice so we are still using the barbecue but, I may be able to lighten up the sides a bit. Bean salad is typically boring and soggy but, this one is colorful and has a nice tang from the vinegar and mustard. It is simple to make and pairs great with pork, chicken or fish. It is versatile and healthy and 3 out of 4 of the family members ate it.
