Southwestern Black Bean Salad

I love making this colorful, salad when the weather warms, it makes
enough to feed a crowd and makes a great side dish or appetizer if
served with chips. It’s also great as a topping for taco salads or
served with grilled meat and fresh tortillas.

And
BONUS, this salad is low in saturated fat and loaded with antioxidants. A
perfect summer side dish for grilled meat, fish or chicken. It’s best
when you use sweet fresh roasted corn, but if corn is not in season,
frozen, thawed corn will work just fine in it’s place.

30 Light Memorial Day Recipes

Traditionally on Memorial Day weekend, my friends and I always get together and grill in one of our yards.  Being in the backyard with friends, smelling the deliciousness coming from the grill, and hearing the kids playing out back – it doesn’t get better than that! This year, I feel like Memorial Day weekend came super early. The only definite plans I have this weekend is going to friend’s wedding, aside from that we really have no plans, but I’m really ok with that too! Since the beach opens this weekend, and I am only 10 minutes away, I just might spend the day there!

Whatever happens, I thought I would put together some of my favorite (light) recipes for backyard grilling to kick start the summer. Let’s start with desserts first!

Memorial Day gathering proud.

Skinny chocolate chip cookies made with absolutely no butter or oil sandwiched together with fat-free frozen yogurt and colored sprinkles make these Skinny Chocolate Chip Fro-Yo Sandwiches[1] – a great way to kick off summer.
No cooking required for Watermelon on a Stick.  Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make the best desserts.[2]

What can be a better way to start off the Memorial Day festivities than with a glass of Freshly Brewed Ice Tea with Fresh Mint[3]

Iced Green Tea Mojito [4]the perfect cocktail to welcome the start of summer and the start of your party.

Southwestern Black Bean Salad[5] – this salad makes enough to feed a crowd as a side dish or to start the party off as an appetizer if you serve it with chips.
Guilt-free Grilled Potatoes[6] are made right on the grill. Perfect along side a burger this weekend!
Baby Red Potato Salad[7] is great if you’re not a fan of the traditional potato salad loaded with mayonnaise.
Salsa Verde Burgers (MY FAVORITE) are topped with pepper jack cheese, salsa verde and avocado…delicious! [8]

What are your plans this weekend? Whatever they are, hope you enjoy!!
