OLD FASHIONED KIDNEY BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, pickle juice, black pepper, and salt, stirring to thoroughly combine.
• Add kidney beans, pickles, celery, and onions. Gently stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
• Cover and refrigerate at least half an hour (an hour is better, so the salad is thoroughly chilled), or until serving. Garnish with a sprinkling of chopped celery leaves, if desired.

COLORFUL KIDNEY BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Note: I use white and light green parts of scallions only. - Adjust hotness to your taste by choosing the amount of jalapeno.
• For the dressing mix all ingredients except oil together until blended. Add oil and taste. It should be nicely sour.
• Mix all salad ingredients in a large bowl, pour dressing over and mix thoroughly.
• Let flavors blend for at least 15 minutes or keep in the fridge up to 24 hours ( use less jalapeno then). Serve at room temperature.
• NOTE: If you plan to make the salad ahead of time, consider to add the basil only 30 minutes before serving, so it won't get all brown, but the flavors will have time to blend.

KIDNEY BEAN SALAD WITH CHILI AND CORIANDER

Steps:

• Place the beans in a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover them. Bring to boil, drain and add fresh water to cover. Add the cumin, garlic, chili, onion, bay leafs, salt and pepper. Simmer gently, covered, for about one hour, or until cooked (add more water if the beans start to get too dry).
• In a large serving bowl combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno pepper and oregano. Drain the beans, add them to the tomatoes and toss.
• Mix the olive oil with the juice of the lime (adding the juice to taste) and the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and add to the beans. Toss thoroughly.
• Just before serving, add the coriander and mix well.
