    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.

    This Weight Watchers 3 Bean Salad Recipe is super easy to make and so tasty! At just 3 points per generous serving, it is the perfect side dish. #weightwatchers #3beansalad #recipes

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