Mediterannean Veggie Bean Salad (4 Week Gut Protocol Recipe)

 Mediterannean Veggie Bean Salad 

A 4 Week Gut Protocol Recipe From Autumn Calabrese Instagram 

I absolutely love this recipe and I am not a huge fan of beans. It has so much flavor and its perfect to bring to a Memorial Day or 4th of July BBQ/Potluck! You can even add some gluten free pasta to beef it up to feed more people and still be on track with 4 Week Gut Protocol. Even if you are not following this nutrition program, you can make it. Everyone will love it! It's very light and refreshing but also fills you up and keeps you satisfied - which means less cravings and more weight loss results.
