Categories     Salads

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 can(s) kidney beans, drained
1 celery stalk, chopped
1/4 c onion, chopped finely
1/4 c sweet pickle, chopped
2 eggs, hard boiled, peeled and chopped
1/4 to 1/2 c mayonnaise or salad dressing
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Chill to blend flavors, although I can't keep out of it, so I serve it right away.
  • 2. You can substitute no fat or low fat mayonnaise and use just egg whites to make this low fat. Cheese cubes such as cheddar or colby can be used, to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Look for plump, firm kidney beans that are free of blemishes and wrinkles. Avoid any beans that are cracked or split.
  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 2 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Rinse the beans thoroughly: Before cooking the beans, rinse them thoroughly with cold water. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cook the beans until they are tender: The beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Depending on the type of bean, this can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Use a variety of sweet pickles: There are many different types of sweet pickles available, so feel free to use your favorites. Some popular options include dill pickles, bread and butter pickles, and sweet gherkins.
  • Add other ingredients to taste: This salad is a great opportunity to add other ingredients that you enjoy. Some popular options include chopped celery, onion, red pepper, and hard-boiled eggs.

Conclusion:

Kidney bean and sweet pickle salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is made with simple ingredients that are readily available, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. This salad is also a great way to use up leftover kidney beans. So next time you have a can of kidney beans on hand, be sure to give this salad a try.
