Steps:
- Long version: Soak beans overnight in cold water. Drain and cook in cold water until tender but not mushy. Quick version: Drain and rinse canned beans Place beans in large bowl and add remaining 5 ingredients. Chill. Make vinaigrette in blender, processor or just a airtight jar. Add as much vinaigrette, to bean mixture as suits your taste. Keep in mind the beans will absorb quite a bit of the flavors and sauce over time. Toss together well and chill until needed. Can be made ahead but recommend that salad be consumed in two days. Add to fajitas or tacos. Leftover vinaigrette is wonderful on leaf salads, pork or chicken. Pairs well with a semi-dry Riesling or dry Chenin Blanc. Depends on your main, of course.
Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Use black beans, white beans, red beans, or a combination of all three.
- Cook the beans properly. Beans should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland.
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your salad the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overdress the salad. A light dressing will allow the flavors of the beans and vegetables to shine through. A heavy dressing will overpower the other ingredients.
- Make the salad ahead of time. This salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This makes it a great option for a potluck or a party.
