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!

Fresh Multi-Bean Salad with Charred Red Onion image

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     salads and dressings, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, grated
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 pound fresh shelling beans (fava beans, butterbeans or cranberry beans)
1/2 pound small green beans
1/2 pound romano beans
1/2 pound small yellow wax beans
1 medium red onion, in 1/4-inch slices
A few sprigs fresh marjoram or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • To make the vinaigrette, stir together vinegar, mustard and garlic in small bowl. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk in olive oil. Taste for seasoning, then set aside.
  • Shuck and cook the fresh shelling beans. If using fava beans, blanch in boiling water for 1 minute, then rinse in cool water. Peel the outer skin from each bean and set aside. If using butterbeans or cranberry beans, simmer in lightly salted water to cover. They should be tender in about 30 minutes. Let shelling beans cool in their cooking water. (May be cooked ahead.)
  • Cook the green beans, romano beans and wax beans separately. Simmer each type in lightly salted water for 3 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Spread them out on plates to cool to room temperature.
  • Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lay onion slices in the skillet and let them char and soften slightly on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and char the other side. Set aside to cool. Toast marjoram on the hot skillet until it chars slightly, about one minute, then remove. (You may char the onions and marjoram on an outdoor grill or under the broiler.)
  • To assemble the salad, drain the shell beans (reserve liquid for another purpose) and put them in a large serving bowl. Add cooked green beans and charred onions. Season with salt and pepper. Add vinaigrette and toss well. Crumble marjoram and sprinkle over salad. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, and lentils.
  • Cook your beans properly. If you're using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
  • Don't overcook your beans. Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender.
  • Add fresh vegetables. Vegetables will add color, crunch, and nutrients to your salad. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. A good dressing will help to bring all the flavors of your salad together. Try a vinaigrette, a creamy dressing, or a salsa dressing.
  • Serve your salad immediately. Bean salads are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Multi-bean salads are a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of planning, you can create a bean salad that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, reach for a can of beans and start experimenting!
