2-Bean Artichoke Salad Recipe – 1 WW Freestyle SmartPoint

Today I’ve got a recipe for 2-Bean Artichoke salad, aquick and easy variation on 3-Bean Salad I think you’re going to love.

WW Friendly 2-Bean Salad with Artichokes

Cut green beans, garbanzo beans, chopped canned artichoke hearts and chopped red bell pepper, tossed with Annie’s Light Goddess Dressing, this salad is super easy to toss together. Lower in fat and sugar than many other 3-bean salad recipes, it’s perfect for Weight Watchers.

Born of necessity, I tossed it together recently when wanting to avoid a trip to the grocery store, opting to use what I had around the house instead. The addition of chopped artichoke hearts makes for a light and delicious all-year-round salad that’s just a little bit different and can be modified in lots of ways.

2-Bean Artichoke Salad Recipe Notes

I used what I had on hand to made this 2-Bean Artichoke Salad: canned cut green beans, canned artichoke hearts, canned garbanzo beans and bottled Annie’s Light Goddess Dressing. You could easily substitute garden fresh cooked green beans and your favorite bottled or skinny homemade dressing.

As I was tossing this simple salad together, the following additions and variations came to mind:

• Another can of beans (kidney, Cannellini, wax, etc.)
• Chopped red onion
• Chopped roasted red bell peppers
• Halved cherry tomatoes
• Grated parmesan or crumbled feta cheese
• Sliced or halved olives
• Fresh herbs such as parsley, basil
