Lunch today included lots of pretty colors.
I topped a big bowl of spring mix with celery, carrots, two MorningStar Farms spicy black bean burgers and pomegranate dressing. I absolutely love using black bean burgers as a salad topper. They add so much flavor and the punch of protein helps fill me up!
The dressing I used on my salad was Marzetti’s simply dressed pomegranate vinaigrette that I bought on sale at Publix on Sunday.
I love this stuff and always stock up whenever I see a deal!
If you scrunched your nose up at the thought of black bean burgers and pomegranate salad dressing, I don’t blame you. It sounds like a totally bizarre combination, but oddly enough, it worked. I was craving black bean burgers but wanted a little sweetness in my salad, so I decided to combine the two and was pleasantly surprised.

I love the Morningstar buffalo chicken nuggets. They are delicious with the right amount of kick! I am not a huge meat eater, so I love to mix up dinners with Morningstar items. Even the kids love to eat their black bean burgers!

Oh, the spicy black beans are great! I use the crumbles a lot, too. And, man, if you love ribs you MUST try the faux-ribs. The sauce is to die for. The breakfast sausage is also really good with a little bit of syrup. Yum.
Spicy Black Bean Burgers and the Chick ‘n Nuggets are my favs! 🙂
I love the California Turk’y burgers!
When ever I am craving some “bad” food I always turn to morningstar mini corn dogs. They are delicious and much better than the real thing. I have been trying to buy black bean burgers since I saw you use them not long ago, but they have yet to go on sale!
spicy black bean burgers all the way!!
I honestly love all Morningstar Products but if I had to pick one I’d say the original Grillers or the “fake bacon” strips.
The MorningStar Farms chicken patties are my favorite!! When I first started eating healthier and losing weight I was so upset feeling like I couldn’t eat so many things I loved. When I found the MorningStar Farms food I was in absolute heaven. I could eat them daily!!
Their breakfast sausages are awesome!

I love the breakfast sausage patties. Two patties, some pickle relish, a toasted English muffin – breakfast heaven
My sister became a vegetarian when she was 4, so when we were growing up she always ate morning star or boca burgers. I tried the black bean burger one day and it was soooo good!! I love them. I even like their riblets, which is weird bc I am a big time real rib lover!!
What a fun giveaway! I’m a big fan of the chicken burgers!
I love veggie burgers so I’d love to try that. The black bean burger sounds de-lish too.
I like the look of your salad. Odd combinations are always the best!
I use the crumbles all the time. Someone in a weight watchers meeting introduced me to them. She said her husband never had any idea they weren’t beef. The black bean burgers are also very good and the mini corn dogs.
I have tried the breakfast sausage and the veggie burger, both are delish! Fingers crossed on this one.
