THAI-STYLE BLACK BEAN SALAD



Thai-Style Black Bean Salad image

This is so flavorful and yummy! I cannot take credit for it however, I found it in the Healthy Cooking magazine and wanted to share it with everyone! So refreshing, would taste great on a burger or chicken sandwich. It tastes a lot like the topping of the quesadilla explosion salad from Chili's! I actually used a whole lime instead of 1 T. of juice and zested it. I also used a bit more salt after it sat for awhile!

TWO-BEAN AND BARLEY SALAD WITH PINE NUTS



Two-Bean and Barley Salad with Pine Nuts image

Categories     Salad     Bean     Mustard     Onion     Side     Low Fat     Vegetarian     High Fiber     Lemon     Pine Nut     Barley     Gourmet     Vegan     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound dried black beans, soaked in enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches overnight or quick-soaked (procedure follows) and drained
1 cup barley (not quick-cooking)
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
3/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely chopped red onion
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted lightly
Dried Beans
1/2 to 1 pound dried beans, picked over

Steps:

  • To prepare the salad
  • In a kettle combine the black beans with enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, simmer them, covered, for 1 hour, or until they are tender, and drain them well. While the beans are cooking, in a large saucepan combine the barley with 4 cups boiling salted water and simmer it, covered, for 45 minutes, or until it is cooked but still al dente. Drain the barley in a colander, rinse it, and drain it well. In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, the mustard, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. In a large bowl combine the black beans, the barley, and the onion, add the dressing, and toss the salad until it is combined well. The salad may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. In a saucepan of boiling salted water cook the green beans for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are just tender, refresh them under cold water, and drain them well. Cut the beans crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces, add them to the salad with pine nuts and salt and pepper to taste, and toss the salad until it is combined well. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
  • To quick soak dried beans
  • In a colander rinse the beans under cold water and discard any discolored ones. In a kettle combine the beans with enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches, bring the water to a boil, and boil the beans for 2 minutes. Remove the kettle from the heat and let the beans soak, covered, for 1 hour.
