Best Hearty Bean Salad Recipes
HEARTY BEAN SALAD
I discovered this salad years ago when I was a teenager in a 4-H club. After I was married, I used the recipe as a base and added different beans and water chestnuts for more crunch. The dressing is most important, getting the right balance between the sweet and the sour.

HEARTY THREE-BEAN-AND-HAM SALAD
Growing up in the South, we were surrounded by three-bean salads, which are something of an aquired taste. We ate up Mama's beans and ham hocks, but give us kids a cold bean salad and we'd be out the backdoor. Well, now we've seen the error of our ways-plus canned beans seem to be better these days, less mushy and more flavorful. Here we toss them with spicy cheese and leftover ham for a main-course salad that's delicious served with Moist-and-Easy Corn Bread (page 45).

Steps:
- To make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ham, kidney beans, chickpeas, green beans, scallions, and pepper Jack cheese (if using). Add the dressing and gently toss until combined.
- For each portion, arrange 2 leaves of Bibb lettuce to make a bowl on a plate and fill with the bean salad.
- This salad gets better as it sits (up to 4 days, refrigerated), so it's perfect for picnics and potlucks.
