I have ordered the "Tuscan bean soup" at several establishments since, but none compares.
Last week, I picked up "Country Tuscan Salad" from Trader Joe's. I was drawn to it because it didn't have meat, and it was much lower in sugar, fat, and calories than the other salads. What I hadn't expected was to be brought back to the bustling cafe in Tuscany...
Though the salad did not remotely compare to the soup, the balance of flavors did. I recreated my own last night, since I don't fancy paying $2.99 for a small salad.
Country Tuscan Salad
Diced green and red bell pepper
shredded carrots
lettuce
shaved Parmesan
white beans
Parmesan garlic vinaigrette
Toss the ingredients, and serve immediately.
If you don't want to make your own, just pick one up from the "lunch" section at Trader Joe's for $2.99!
this looks like a great salad for on-the-go at work. I will try it! :)
