Bean Salad! This bean salad recipe is the number one requested recipe at family functions. The perfect side at your next BBQ or party. For this recipe, I typically just add equal parts of the olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Also, I normally add salt/pepper and sugar to taste. But this time around I tried to do some measurements for you. So, I added half a cup of the extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar. As I create recipes, I like to make adjustments as I go. So, for this recipe you can start with a quarter cup of each (EVOO/Vinegar) and increase from there. But you won’t need more than the half cup I have written below. Also, nine out of ten times, I double this recipe. However, if you do- I would recommend doubling the beans/corn, but you may get away with staying at that half cup mark for the oil/vinegar. Also, my biggest tip for the perfect bean salad is to dice the red onions and green peppers very small/finely. I really hope you try this family favorite. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 (15oz can) Pinto Beans, drained/rinsed
1 (15oz can) Black Beans, drained/rinsed
1 (15oz can) Black-eyed Peas, drained/rinsed
1 (11oz can) White Shoepeg Corn
1 small Green Pepper, diced/chopped finely
1/2 Red Onion, diced/chopped finely
1 Tbsp Raw Cane Sugar
1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
Salt/Pepper to taste
Directions:
-Drain and rinse all the beans. For the white shoepeg corn, I typically just add it straight to the mixture.
-In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix together to combine.
Note: You can eat this bean salad straight away, however, for best results cover and refrigerate for a few hours to chill.
-Enjoy!
