| | | I've made a "dense bean salad" for lunch almost daily for the past 3 weeks. These salads include fewer leafy greens, more hearty ingredients (such as chickpeas, pinto beans, chopped deli meat, and jarred peppers), and an herby dressing. The major upside to these kinds of salads is that you don't have to worry so much about greens getting soggy. If you've never had a dense bean salad before, let me introduce you to a variation below. (Omit the spinach and you've got yourself a true dense bean salad!) | | | | | | | Happy first day of December!

December 1, 2024 • 2.5 min read | | | |  | | | | Creamy chickpea salad with apples and pecans | | For anyone who loves a quick, convenient lunch, today's recipe requires no actual cooking — largely thanks to canned chickpeas. If you have the time and patience to let dried chickpeas rehydrate in a pool of water overnight, you're a better person than me! Because when it comes to any kind of bean, my laziness will turn me toward the canned aisle every time. | | Heads-up: This recipe makes 4 servings. If you're preparing it just for yourself, I recommend cutting the ingredients in half. | | | | | | | | | Gotta hand it to you | | | | |  | | Mueller Handheld Immersion Blender | | It's not an exaggeration when I say an immersion blender changed my life. OK, maybe a little. But man, do I freaking love it. Instead of using a regular blender for smoothies — and then having to wash many parts — I put the ingredients into a plastic quart container, combine everything with this immersion blender, and that's all! I drink it straight from the container and only have to wash the blender's attachment. It's also a time- and energy-saver when making emulsified salad dressing. | | | | Every product we recommend has gone through either Healthline's or Optum Store's vetting processes.
