This beautiful salad is loaded with colourful vegetables and beans. It's an ideal dish to bring to a pot luck or buffet as it can sit for hours and it's flavour only improves. I love the addition of the avocado. It makes it unlike other bean salads I've tried. From Chatelaine and posted for ZWT 7

CANARY, MAYOCOBA, OR PERUVIAN WHITE BEAN SALAD
My local Mexican market sells these luscious beans in bulk. I came up with this recipe after trying them for the first time. The beans cook up fairly quickly and have a tender skin; they are buttery and smooth. No wonder they're called the King of Beans! This salad is beautiful and absolutely delicious. I seasoned the salad with a Sal/Limon/Chile mix I found at the market - which gives the salad a little kick along with the diced jalapeno. If you can't find it, use chile powder and lemon pepper. And my favorite brand of avocado is a Calavo brand that's California-grown: it's the most reliable I've found. It's ripe when the skin is black.

Steps:
- Cook the beans yourself, if you can, and drain them well. I bring the beans to a boil and let them sit for a few hours or let the beans soak overnight, drain them, then cook them the next day. These cook fairly quickly. If you can't cook the beans yourself, you can use canned large white beans.
- Mix beans and the rest of the ingredients except the spinach, avocado and feta, together and chill.
- To serve: place the spinach leaves in individual salad bowls and divide the beans amongst the plates. Top with the avocado and crumbled feta. Drizzle enough of the dressing over the salad to dress the greens.

Steps:
- Put mayocoba beans into a large container with enough cool water to cover by several inches. Let beans soak 8 hours to overnight.
- Drain mayocoba beans and rinse thoroughly; put into a large stockpot. Pour enough water into the pot to cover beans by a few inches; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and place a cover on the pot, and cook at a simmer until beans are soft in the center, about 90 minutes.
- While the beans simmer, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes; add tomatoes and serrano pepper and simmer until the tomatoes have softened slightly, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the liquid begins to thicken, about 10 minutes more. Remove from heat.
- Cook and stir bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until very crispy, about 10 minutes; remove bacon from skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towel.
- Cook ham cubes in the bacon fat in the skillet until browned, about 5 minutes; remove with slotted spoon to the plate with the bacon to drain.
- Once the beans have cooked, stir the tomato mixture, bacon, ham, beer, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, and chicken bouillon granules into the beans; season with sea salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the beans are completely softened, about 30 minutes.
