MARMIE'S EVER CHANGING MULTI BEAN SALAD



Marmie's Ever Changing Multi Bean Salad image

This is the perfect blend of Tangy/Sweetness, it is remarkably mild, not oily and is hugely versatile! Wonderful for picnics, lunches to go or just an added side at dinner. I do NOT like apple cider vinegar but in this recipe it is fabulous, especially for bean salad skeptics like me. I make it in a one gallon ice cream pail and store it in the fridge, when it begins to run out I add a can of what ever bean I have on hand and a few more red onions. I can do this until the 'brine' runs out. Then I just start all over again and always have it on hand. Fresh cooked beans have a nicer texture and are more cost efficient than canned but canned is yummy too, though do contain lots of sodium. So if you are on a sodium restricted diet, I would suggest cooking dry beans and fresh green and yellow beans for this recipe. Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 2 quarts, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (19 ounce) can red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
1 (19 ounce) can beans, mixed ("Bean Medley" mine had Chick Peas, red Kidney beans, Romano Beans, and Black Eyed Peas (drained and )
1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas (drained and gently rinsed)
1 (14 ounce) can wax beans, no salt (yellow)
1 (14 ounce) can green beans (drained reserving liquid)
1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
1 small red onion, halved, peeled, then thinly sliced (If I use a stronger onion I soak it in 2 tsp sugar and 3/4 cups cold water for 15 min then drain it )
1/4 cup pimento pepper (optional)
liquid from green beans
1/2 cup vegetable oil, of good quality (Olive Oil tastes funny in this recipe)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar, garlic flavor (or 1/4 rice vinegar and 1 clove garlic)

Steps:

  • Place all beans, onion, celery and pimento in a large plastic container with a lid.

  • Shake until sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour liquid over beans.
  • Cover with lid and put in fridge to chill over night or for several hours, gently mixing occasionally.
  • Serve with slotted spoon so as not to discard the brine unnecessarily if you plan to keep adding to the bean mixture.

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.

EASY MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD



Easy Mediterranean Bean Salad image

Easy three bean salad recipe packed with Mediterranean flavors from fresh herbs, capers, and a zesty Dijon garlic vinaigrette. Instead of mushy canned green beans, use fresh steamed ones, or swap them out for another type of bean. I chose to use cannellini beans! After dressing the bean salad, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, so that the beans can absorb the zippy dressing.
