This flavorful chilled salad is wonderful year around, but is especially nice during the hot summer afternoons. And it keeps wonderfully well in the fridge! Adapted from a recipe by Cooking Light, 1997. Prep time includes chilling.

Categories     Black Beans

Time 4h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup frozen whole kernel corn or 1 cup yellow wax bean
1 cup frozen cut green beans
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans (or other favorite red beans)
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
1 (15 ounce) can black beans or 1 (15 ounce) can black soybeans
1 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • In a colander in the sink, add the corn, green beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, and black beans; rinse them well then let drain.
  • In a large bowl combine the onion and remaining ingredients and the mixture in the colander and stir to coat.
  • Transfer to a container with a cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, stirring or shaking occasionally.
  • Note: also good with yellow wax beans and a bit of black olive added - I omit the corn and substitute the yellow wax beans.
