You can do so much more with canned vegetables than just saute them as a side dish for meats. They also make a great addition to cold salads, like this healthy green bean and tomato salad. This meat- and dairy-free (also gluten-free!) dish reminds us of a salad you might pick up at a deli or salad bar, but it’s much more affordable to make at home. The tender green beans, juicy tomatoes, sharp onions and crunchy nuts are the perfect combo, all pulled together with a tangy lemon dressing.
