Are you loving the Weight Watchers Freestyle program? They expanded their list of 0 point foods to include beans and that has gone a long way to helping me feel satisfied and lose weight. I like to try and incorporate beans into a number of recipes since they are filling and good for me. I made a yummy 0 Point Chili in the past, and today I am sharing this Weight Watchers 3 Bean Salad Recipe. At just 3 points per generous serving, this makes an excellent side dish for a lunch, dinner or BBQ.
Weight Watchers 3 Bean Salad Recipe
I just love how colorful all the beans in this salad look! Place the beans and the rest of the salad ingredients into a large bowl and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice and zest, salt and pepper, and chopped basil and mix. Save a sprig or fresh basil for garnish.
Pour the olive oil dressing onto the salad ingredients and toss until evenly coated.
This 3 Bean Salad Recipe is super easy to make and it is so good for you. Best of all, even friends and family who are not following Weight Watchers will enjoy it.

What is the serving size on this?

If you leave out the oil this would be 0 points right?

How can this be 0 points with 4 T of oil? That’s 17 points!
