CREOLE RED BEANS AND RICE SALAD

Categories     Salad     Bean     Rice     Tomato     Side     Quick & Easy     Bell Pepper     Summer     Thyme     Boil     Bon Appétit     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 3 teaspoons dried
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup drained canned kidney beans
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped seeded plum tomatoes
1/4 cup bottled Italian dressing

Steps:

  • Combine 1 cup water, rice, 1 tablespoon thyme and cayenne in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring just to boil. Cover pan, reduce heat to low and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer rice to large bowl. Add beans, bell pepper, tomatoes, dressing and remaining 2 tablespoons thyme; toss to combine. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Cook the rice according to the package directions. If you overcook the rice, it will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Let the rice cool completely before adding it to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
  • Chop the vegetables into small, even pieces. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Dress the salad with a light vinaigrette or olive oil and vinegar. You don't want to overpower the flavors of the vegetables.
  • Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

Two-bean rice salad is a healthy, flavorful, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a side dish. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice and beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
