A shower of chopped fresh basil across the top finishes it off.

SPICY 3-BEAN CHILI SALAD



Spicy 3-Bean Chili Salad image

This bean salad celebrates all the bold flavors of the hot chili we enjoy during the year's colder months. Three kinds of beans are tossed with a vinaigrette made with tomato paste- and spice-infused oil (which gives the salad surprising depth of flavor). Stir a dollop of sour cream into the chilled salad to cut through some of the spiciness.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
One 15.5-ounce can black beans
One 15.5-ounce can kidney beans
One 15.5-ounce can pinto beans
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tablespoons finely minced pickled jalapenos plus 1/3 cup pickling juice
Kosher salt
1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 1 cup)
1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 1 cup)
1/3 cup sour cream
1 scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Soak the onions in a bowl of ice water to mellow their sharpness and set aside. Strain and rinse the black, kidney and pinto beans.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of the oil, the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin and oregano to a medium skillet. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until the tomato paste and oil have come together as a dark brown paste, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Turn off the heat, and stir in the remaining 5 tablespoons oil. Let cool for 25 minutes so the oil can absorb the flavors of the tomato-paste mixture.
  • Pour the oil mixture into a fine-mesh strainer set over a liquid measuring cup with a spout. Do not press down on the tomato-paste mixture, just let the oil drain until there is at least 1/4 cup of it in the measuring cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Discard the tomato-paste mixture. Put the pickled jalapeno juice and 1 teaspoon salt into a large mixing bowl, and slowly whisk in the flavored oil.
  • Strain the onions, and add them to the bowl with the dressing. Add the jalapenos, all the beans and the red and yellow bell peppers. Stir to combine, and add salt to taste. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, and garnish with the sliced scallions.

MARINATED BEAN SALAD



Marinated Bean Salad image

Provided by Molly Yeh

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.

ISRAELI COUSCOUS, BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD



Israeli Couscous, Bean and Tomato Salad image

Finely chopped tomatoes seasoned with garlic, balsamic vinegar and basil serve as both dressing and vegetable in this main dish salad. I've been making tomato concassée all summer and using it as a sauce for pasta and fish. I decided to use it as a stand-in for salad dressing in this hearty salad, a simple combination of cooked Israeli couscous and beans. I used canned pinto beans, and they were just fine. Chickpeas would also work. Use lots of basil in the mix. The red onion contributes some crunch. You can add a little celery if you want more texture. Make sure to use sweet, ripe, juicy tomatoes. I love the finishing touch of the feta, but it is optional.

MOOSEWOOD WHITE BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD



Moosewood White Bean and Tomato Salad image

This is one of my favorite Moosewood recipes, and it is so easy! My toddler even loves this recipe. This cold salad is perfect during the hot summer months, and goes great with meals that are cooked on the grill. I find that adding 1 T red wine vinegar makes it absolutely perfect. Moosewood categorizes this recipe as a "Main dish salad" but I prefer it as a side dish. I always omit the celery because it is the one vegetable that I do not like.
