KIDNEY BEAN SALAD



Kidney Bean Salad image

A simple and delicious combination of hard-cooked eggs, beans, onion, celery, and sweet pickle relish. A little mayo holds it all together.

Provided by Jackie Noel Smith

Categories     Salad     Beans

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained
½ onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
½ cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place eggs in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil. Remove saucepan from heat. Cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, cool, peel, and chop.
  • In a bowl, mix the hard-cooked eggs, kidney beans, onion, celery, relish, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper. Chill at least 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Use dried kidney beans for the best flavor and texture. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them well before using.
  • Soak the beans: Soaking the beans overnight helps 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 5 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Cook the beans until tender: The beans should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will be mushy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and texture to the salad. Some good choices include celery, onion, bell pepper, and cucumber.
  • Add a dressing: A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a great way to add flavor to the salad. You can also use a store-bought dressing if you're short on time.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Kidney bean salad is a healthy and delicious side dish or main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it simple or loaded with vegetables, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give kidney bean salad a try!
