MARINATED BEAN SALAD

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
6 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into thirds
One 15.5-ounce (439 grams) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
One 15.5-ounce (439 grams) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 vine-ripe tomatoes (226 grams), chopped
2 stalks celery (56 grams), thinly sliced, plus 1/4 cup inner leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 small red onion (56 grams), thinly sliced
4 peperoncini (31 grams), stemmed and chopped, plus 1 tablespoon brine from the jar
1/2 cup (84 grams) mixed pitted kalamata and manzanilla olives, slivered
1/4 cup (10 grams) chopped fresh Italian parsley
3 tablespoons (30 grams) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup (71 grams) extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and add to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat very dry. Add to a serving bowl along with the cannellini beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, sliced celery and leaves, red onion, peperoncini, olives and parsley.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, peperoncini brine, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Whisk in the olive oil to make a smooth dressing. Pour over the bean mixture and toss well. Season with salt if needed. This salad can be made a day ahead --- the green beans may discolor a bit because of the lemon juice but will taste even better with the longer marination time.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 6h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16 ounce) can cut green beans
1 (16 ounce) can cut wax beans
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup vinegar
1/3 cup salad oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Combine ingredients in a bowl.
  • Chill overnight.
  • Toss before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans: This will give your salad a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, and pinto beans.
  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften them and make them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your salad its flavor, so be sure to use one that you like. Some good options include a vinaigrette, a citrus-based marinade, or a yogurt-based marinade.
  • Let the salad marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will give the beans time to absorb the flavor of the marinade.
  • Serve the salad chilled: A chilled salad is more refreshing and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Marinated five-bean salad is a healthy and delicious salad that is perfect for a summer potluck or picnic. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its colorful beans, crisp vegetables, and flavorful marinade, this salad is sure to be a hit.
