This fantastic recipe from Missouri Life Magazine is great for a “Meatless Monday” (or add your own protein of choice). We all think of loaded potatoes with regular russets, but how about the sweet potatoes? They are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene, which can be converted to vitamin A and help support your immune system and gut health.
This recipe provides protein from the beans, a bit of crunch from the carrots, and a delicious light dressing drizzled on top.
