About Beans
Beans are the powerhouse of plant-based vegan protein and have a significant amount of soluble fibre, iron, and vitamins. From making rajma curry to chicken burrito bowl, you can survive on beans across the globe. Here are a few reasons to include a variety of beans in your diet:
Ingredients Required
Here is the list of ingredients you need to make mixed beans salad:
Canned Beans: I use a mix of garbanzo (chickpeas), red kidney beans, and white beans or cannellini beans. Vegetables: Red Onion, Bell Pepper, Cucumber, Sweet Corn, and Avocado. Herbs & Seasoning: To dress the salad, I use one green chilli, lemon juice, virgin olive oil, and fresh cilantro.
Canned vs. Home-Cooked Beans
Canned Beans are easy to use, time-saving, and are readily available in all grocery stores. In contrast, dried beans cooked at home are inexpensive, easy to store, and free from all starch, preservatives, or excess salt.
For a healthier choice, it is always best to cook dry beans from scratch at home. Home-cooked beans are less mushy or overcooked. Hence, the best choice to make a salad.
How To Cook Beans
Dried beans take about 20 minutes to cook in an Instant Pot.
