Best 9 Cold Black Bean Salad Recipes

COLD BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the beans, cheese, onion, olives, celery and peppers. Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving.

FRESH BLACK BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, combine all of the ingredients and toss to combine. Taste, and adjust as necessary until the flavors really pop-I usually add another teaspoon or two of vinegar (you can use lime juice instead, for more mild flavor) and another 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Cover and chill to enhance the flavors-preferably for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Serve in individual bowls as is, or with any of the garnishes listed. Leftovers keep well for up to 4 days or so; you might want to wake up the flavors with an extra squeeze of lime juice or tiny splash of vinegar.

BLACK BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with a pinch of the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Whisk the garlic paste, lime juice, salt and chili powder together in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream.
• For the salad: Cook the corn, bell pepper, and onions in the olive oil until beginning to brown over medium-high heat in a skillet. Toss in the black beans and cook until warm. Add the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and gently fold in the tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Serve.

QUICK BLACK BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Turn the cans of beans upside down and open them from the bottom. This makes it easier to remove the beans. Dump the beans into a colander and rinse them with cold water. Drain them well and place them in a mixing bowl.
• Fold in the yellow and red pepper and the onion.
• Beat the vinegar and cumin together, then beat in the oil. Fold the dressing into the bean mixture and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the salad to a serving dish and cover. It can be kept at room temperature for many hours before serving or refrigerated. Remove it from refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving.
