RED BEAN AND GREEN BEAN SALAD



Red Bean and Green Bean Salad image

The first time I made this, I used some delicious small red beans that my housekeeper, Ana, brought from El Salvador. I also tested it with canned beans; of course I liked the Salvadoran red beans better, but not having them shouldn't deter you from making this substantial salad.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup small red beans or red kidney beans, washed, picked over and soaked for 6 hours or overnight
1/2 onion
3 garlic cloves, 2 of them unpeeled and crushed, 1 of them minced or puréed
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
3/4 pound green beans, stem ends trimmed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt or broth from the beans
Freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 ounces crumbled feta

Steps:

  • Drain the beans, rinse and place in a heavy saucepan with the onion, the crushed whole cloves of garlic, the bay leaf and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add salt to taste and continue to simmer for an hour to an hour and a half more, until the beans are tender but intact. Turn off the heat and allow to sit for 30 minutes. Remove and discard the onion, garlic cloves and bay leaf. Place a strainer over a bowl and drain the beans. Transfer the beans to a salad bowl.
  • While the beans are simmering, blanch the green beans in salted boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes, or steam them. They should be tender but still have some snap to them. Cut into 2- or 3-inch pieces.
  • Toss together the red beans and the herbs. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, olive oil and 3 tablespoons broth from the beans (or yogurt, if you used canned beans). If you have time, allow the mixture to marinate, in or out of the refrigerator, for 30 minutes before adding the green beans and serving. Add the green beans and toss again just before serving.

GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE AND RED QUINOA



Green Bean Salad With Lime Vinaigrette and Red Quinoa image

This is a green bean salad with quinoa as opposed to a quinoa salad with green beans. Red quinoa is secondary to the green beans here. The two ingredients provide a colorful contrast. The salad is alive with texture, the crisp-tender green beans with the crunchy almonds and the chewy, comforting quinoa. The flavors here are Mexican: lime juice, chile, cilantro, white or red onion. It's simple to put together but the sum is complex.
