THREE-BEAN SALAD (EDAMAME, BLACK BEANS & BLACK-EYED PEAS)



Three-Bean Salad (Edamame, Black Beans & Black-Eyed Peas) image

This is a delicious, easy, and fresh-tasting update on a classic salad I adapted from "Gourmet Magazine" (March 2007). It's a great side dish that would compliment most meats and fish. If you want this as a main dish, add some crumbled feta. Recipe requires at least 10 minutes marinating time (and more is even better). It's a great do-ahead or single person recipe as it makes great leftovers!

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 25m

Yield 6 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups frozen shelled edamame (8 ounces)
2 -4 tablespoons olive oil (adjust to your taste)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed or 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans
1/2 cup chopped red onion
2 cups thinly sliced celery or 2 cups chopped cucumbers
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook edamame in a 1 1/2 - to 2-quart saucepan of boiling salted water, uncovered, 4 minutes. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  • Heat oil in a small heavy skillet over moderately low heat until hot but not smoking, then cook cumin, stirring, until fragrant and a shade darker, about 30 seconds. Pour into a large heatproof bowl.
  • Add edamame and remaining ingredients to cumin oil and toss to coat. Let stand 10 minutes for flavors to blend.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh black-eyed peas and black beans will give your salad the best flavor and texture. If you don't have access to fresh beans, frozen or canned beans can be used, but they may not be as flavorful.
  • Cook the Beans Properly: If using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible. Canned beans can be used without any additional preparation.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: The vegetables in this salad should be cooked just until tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy and less flavorful.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: This recipe calls for bell pepper, corn, and red onion, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado.
  • Add Some Herbs and Spices: Herbs and spices can help to brighten up the flavor of the salad. Some good options include cilantro, parsley, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Use a Light Dressing: A light dressing will help to keep the salad from becoming too heavy. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good option.

Conclusion:

This Zesty Black-Eyed Peas and Black Bean Salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it is also a good source of antioxidants. The salad is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this recipe a try!
