I know I'm always looking for new side dishes and this is a good one

Kidney Bean Salad

1/4 cup ranch salad dressing
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 can (14 1/2 ounce) diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese


Preparation:
In a bowl, combine beans, onion, cucumber, salad dressing, dill weed, salt and pepper; stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, stir in tomatoes; sprinkle with cheese.

Great with sandwiches!

I thought so too but the carb count in the nutritional value didn't look too bad. I haven't tried Fit Day or anything, I was just going by what this recipe source had listed.

OK, I just went and looked it up on Fit Day and for canned kidney beans it has approx 40 g. and 16 g. of fiber. So I guess if you figure that the 7 net carbs for the recipe is per serving and you get 6 servings out of a batch that would be about right by the time you add in the count for the other items.
