COLORFUL KIDNEY BEAN SALAD

You'll find similar salads at many German BBQs or on cold buffets. It is quick and simple, can be prepared ahead and makes a good vegetarian meal with some whole wheat bread and butter. I love kidney beans and I love salad, so this is among my favorites.- I like it with some tang from the vinegar, feel free to add a little more sugar.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (14 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 yellow bell pepper, in 3/8 inch dice
1 medium tomatoes, deseeded, in 3/8 inch dice
1 jalapeno, deseeded, minced (to taste)
2 small scallions, in 3/8 inch slices
2 tablespoons basil, minced
2 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar (to taste)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Note: I use white and light green parts of scallions only. - Adjust hotness to your taste by choosing the amount of jalapeno.
  • For the dressing mix all ingredients except oil together until blended. Add oil and taste. It should be nicely sour.
  • Mix all salad ingredients in a large bowl, pour dressing over and mix thoroughly.
  • Let flavors blend for at least 15 minutes or keep in the fridge up to 24 hours ( use less jalapeno then). Serve at room temperature.
  • NOTE: If you plan to make the salad ahead of time, consider to add the basil only 30 minutes before serving, so it won't get all brown, but the flavors will have time to blend.

RED BEAN-TAHINI SPREAD



Red Bean-Tahini Spread image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 45m

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 tablespoons minced garlic (from 3 to 4 cloves)
2 cans (15.5 ounces) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground
1/2 cup tahini
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Sumac, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium until shimmering. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and sizzling, about 30 seconds. Add beans and cook, stirring a few times, just until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a food processor. Add coriander seeds, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup oil. Pulse just until mixture is thick and creamy but not totally smooth; let cool completely. Transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate, covered, up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle generously with sumac before serving.

Tips:

  • For a creamier spread or dip, use canned kidney beans. If you prefer a more textured spread, use cooked dried kidney beans.
  • Be sure to rinse and drain the kidney beans well before using, to remove any excess salt and starch.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the kidney beans with a fork or potato masher, but the texture will be less smooth.
  • For a spicier spread or dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Garnish the spread or dip with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This kidney bean salad spread or dip is an easy and delicious way to enjoy this healthy legume. It's perfect for a party appetizer, a quick lunch, or a healthy snack. With its creamy texture, savory flavor, and versatile uses, this spread or dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
