With the concerns about rising grocery prices, I have decided to do a series on inexpensive recipes using plant-based ingredients.

If you are looking to eat nutritious food on a budget-this series is for you!

The next recipe in the series is Vegan Niçoise Salad 😍.

Using in season produce like tomatoes makes this dish taste amazing and also helps save you on groceries!

Vegan Niçoise Salad:
-1 lb red potatoes
-4 Persian cucumbers
-12 oz green beans
-12 oz cherry tomatoes
-15oz can chickpeas
-6 oz pitted Greek Kalamata olives
-8oz marinated artichokes

1. Bring large stock pot with water to a boil.
2. Place cleaned potatoes into pot and boil for 20-30 minutes until fork tender and then drain.
3. Add green beans to boiling water at 15 minutes and boil approximately 10 min. Remove from water and run cold water over green beans.
4. Drain chickpeas and set aside.
5. Chop cucumbers and tomatoes and set aside.

🚨 Your arteries are listening to every bite you take. 🚨

According to Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, the lining of your arteries gets damaged every time you eat meat, dairy, fish, or chicken. Over time, that injury leads to plaque buildup.

The flip side? 🌱 Whole, plant-based foods protect and heal—helping your body do what it was designed to do: thrive.

✨ Let this be your reminder: every meal is a chance to choose health.

The science is clear: The more animal-based foods people ate, the more chronic disease they developed. Even small amounts had negative effects.
On the flip side? Those who ate the most plant-based foods were the healthiest—and avoided chronic illness.
