EASY MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD



Easy Mediterranean Bean Salad image

Easy three bean salad recipe packed with Mediterranean flavors from fresh herbs, capers, and a zesty Dijon garlic vinaigrette. Instead of mushy canned green beans, use fresh steamed ones, or swap them out for another type of bean. I chose to use cannellini beans! After dressing the bean salad, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, so that the beans can absorb the zippy dressing.

3-BEAN GOOD LUCK SALAD WITH CUMIN VINAIGRETTE



3-Bean Good Luck Salad With Cumin Vinaigrette image

This is a colorful variation of the black-eyed peas salad I always serve at my New Year's Day open house. You can cook the black beans and red beans together or separately. The black-eyed peas cook more quickly so should be cooked separately.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup dried black beans, washed, picked over and soaked for 6 hours or overnight in 3 cups water
3/4 cup dried red beans or kidney beans, washed, picked over and soaked for 6 hours or overnight in 3 cups water
2 onions, halved
4 garlic cloves, minced
Salt to taste
3/4 cup black-eyed peas, washed and picked over
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 teaspoons lightly toasted cumin, ground
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup broth from the beans
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Place a strainer over a bowl and drain the black beans. Add enough water to the soaking water to measure 6 cups. Drain the red beans and discard the soaking water. Combine the black and red beans, water, all but 1/2 onion, and 3 of the garlic cloves in a large, heavy pot and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Add salt to taste (beans take a lot of salt) and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender but intact. Remove and discard the onions. Set a strainer over a bowl and drain. Measure out 1/4 cup of the broth.
  • Meanwhile in a separate pot combine the black-eyed peas, remaining 1/2 onion and garlic clove, the bay leaf and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, cover, reduce the heat and simmer 45 minutes, or until the beans are tender but intact. Remove and discard the bay leaf and onion. Set a strainer over a bowl and drain. Measure out 1/4 cup of the broth and add to the black and red bean broth.
  • In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Combine all of the beans in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Taste and adjust salt. At this point the mixture can be refrigerated, or the salad can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Stir the peppers and cilantro into the beans and serve.

PEAS AND BEANS WITH LEMON DRESSING



Peas and Beans With Lemon Dressing image

I made this recipe several years ago, and the family loved it. The next time I went to make it I had lost the recipe, and tried to make it by memory but it was never the same. I found it again today in one of my old cookbooks, and now I know why it never turned out the same, I had forgotten half the ingredients! So I am posting it here on zaar, just in case I loose it again.
