Spinach and romaine lettuce combine with chopped hazelnuts, juicy golden raisins, red onion, creamy avocado slices, and mini shredded wheat cereal biscuits. The delicious dressing features sugar-free strawberry preserves, aged balsamic vinegar, and extra-virgin olive oil.

Black beans mingle with onions, peppers, garlic, cornmeal, and spices in this tasty taco filling. Try it in burritos or as a dip for tortilla chips. No black beans? Red, pink, or pinto beans are great subs.
