Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups dried Great Northern beans
1/4 cup Sherry wine vinegar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
1/4 cup finely chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
3 tablespoons mild-flavored (light) molasses
2 teaspoons finely chopped canned chipotle
1/3 cup olive oil
3/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
Canned chipotle chilies_packed in adobo sauce are available at Latin American markets and some supermarkets._

Steps:

Place beans in large bowl. Add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Let stand at least 4 hours or overnight.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

Tips:

For best flavor, use fresh, ripe beans. If using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
To make the salad ahead of time, cook the beans and dressing up to 2 days in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, assemble the salad and drizzle with the dressing.
If you don't have molasses, you can substitute honey or maple syrup. However, molasses will give the dressing a richer, more complex flavor.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as diced red onion, chopped bell pepper, or grated carrot.
For a heartier salad, add some cooked quinoa, rice, or barley.
