This is my favorite mid-morning snack, try it – Toss your favorite chopped veggies in a light Italian dressing – just don’t forget the beets!

For 2-4 servings: You’ll need a quarter – half cup of each veggie:

• Canned chick peas, (drained)
• Canned beets (drained)
• Sugar snap peas, chopped
• Carrots, chopped
• Cucumber, chopped
• Red pepper, chopped

Toss with 2-3 Tablespoons of Lite Italian Dressing. Make a day ahead so the flavors and the pretty beet juice have time to mingle!

This has been a doitandhow original 🙂
