"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
Philippians 4:8

Cool and Refreshing Veggie side dish

I prepared this side dish one day and it was a hit, so I decided to share it. It is tangy and somewhat tart!

INGREDIENTS:
1 15-oz Can of sweet corn
1 15-oz can of dark Red kidney beans
1 16-oz can of Garbanzo beans
1 - 6 oz can of Black pitted olives
4 long green onions
2 Avocados
2 Tomatoes
2 Tbls Apple cider vinegar
2 Tbls Olive oil
1 Tbls Pickle juice
Drain and rinse all canned goods
Dice : onions, avocados, and tomatoes.
Place all of these ingredients in a bowl.

Dressing 
Mix in another small bowl:
Olive oil
Apple cider vinegar
Pickle juice
one squeezed lemon
and one squeezed orange
Season with salt and pepper to your preference. = This is your salad dressing!
Pour dressing over the salad and chill 1 hour before serving. (toss well before serving)
you may add 2 Tbls sugar if you prefer a sweet/sour taste

My friends and neighbors keep me well supplied with lemons and oranges, and I am so grateful!


 I squeezed 15 oranges



I freeze fruit cubes and use them for future recipes as needed.
I got 42 ice cubes from 15 oranges.
I use 3 cubes to = 1 orange.
You can use the salad dressing for a regular green salad, or for the veggie salad below.

Here is a picture of my favorite veggie salad. We like a vinegar twist to it; however, 2 tbls. of sugar can be added to the dressing if you want it to be a bit sweet and sour.
Hope you enjoy it!
