COLORFUL CHICKPEA AND BLACK BEAN SALAD



Colorful Chickpea and Black Bean Salad image

This is really more of a "chickpea compote!" I love this and make it with tons of variations. Here's the basic recipe. I serve these with toasted pita triangles brushed with olive oil and dusted with cumin and kosher salt. this is great for informal gatherings or parties when you need to bring a dish. You could easily make lots of this and I often do. Mmmm!! Add the peppers if you want--just depends on whether you like peppers! the ingredients say red and green ones, but I've added orange and yellow as well. This is an add/delete kind of recipe--keep changing it little by little as you make it!

COLORFUL BLACK BEAN AND CRAB SALAD



Colorful Black Bean and Crab Salad image

This is a very colourful side dish that I serve with jerk chicken or barbecued steaks. I quite often will take this to a pot luck along with several copies of the recipe, as it is always requested. For more of a bite, add a finely chopped jalapeno directly to the salad in addition to the sliced jalapenos on top.

Tips:

  • Using canned black beans is a time-saving option, but if you have the time, cooking dried black beans from scratch will give you a more flavorful salad.
  • To save even more time, you can use pre-cooked corn and bell peppers. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to this salad, such as diced tomatoes, cucumbers, or red onion.
  • If you like a spicy salad, add a minced jalapeño pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • For a more creamy salad, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
