I'm fortunate to have friends with vegetable gardens who share, along with co-workers who share good recipes. Yesterday, I made a delicious salad with all ingredients from a friend who grows lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, etc... in his garden. I topped the salad with various beans I purchased @ Trader Joe's. On the side, I had two turkey meatballs a co-worker made for me. Nothing like a delicious, nutritious, and FREE (minus the beans) lunch.
As for nutrient density, the beans represent good quality fiber and plant-based protein. The turkey meatballs provide complete protein. Good stuff!
