Notes
Here are a handful of ideas for ways to enjoy Loaded Veggie Salad: as a solo lunch salad, a topping for a leafy salad along with grilled chicken, a complement to scrambled eggs, a wrap filling and a dip for chips. It never gets old and the flavors are amazing!
To make the salad even more fresh, replace canned diced tomatoes with a pint of halved grape or cherry tomatoes. Or chop a big, juicy, ripe Roma or heirloom tomato!
Cut the corn off cobs in place of the canned corn for an even fresher salad.
For an extra touch of yum, add 1-2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar.
Thinly sliced green onions or chopped fresh green beans would both be great additions to this recipe.
This is a great recipe to add to your meal prep list! See my first bullet point about its versatility. I promise you’ll eat it up in various ways in just a few days!
I typically use a green bell pepper for this salad, but feel free to use a red, orange or yellow bell pepper instead!
