Kidney Bean Recipes

High in protein & fiber, low in fat & calories

This is a yummy salad that is very flexible. Try subbing olive oil/balsamic vinegar as a dressing. Remember avocados are a little bit higher in the mono saturated (healthier) fats but also a great source of fiber! On the 2nd round of this salad, I tried adding dill and some rinsed, canned chicken. That was also good. Enjoy :)

*Rinsing beans, reduces sodium from what is listed

I made this up one day when I was craving cabbage and had a bunch of kidney beans in the fridge that needed using. Canned kidney beans would work fine here if you're in a hurry.

I often get vegetarian takeout, and there are 3 dishes plus basmati rice or nan to make up a meal. By making my own food I know what the calorie count is. You can use commercial curry powder or make your own fresh spice masala. I'd serve this with curried cabbage and brown basmati rice. Add salt to taste.

This recipe is very easy to make and has a winderfully rich flavour. Good when served with rice or bread.

Not exactly a stew but I didn't know what to call it! It's like a mix of chili and stew.

This is a easy quick dinner. My family really likes it.

This is an easy to make dish that is filling and loaded with protein and fibre.

A salad that is the perfect touch to a sandwich for lunch.

A family favorite vegetarian soup.

Very Filling and Flavorful Alternative to Hash. Good with a bit of turkey bacon and a low sodium V8 for the start of the day. This can, in theory be doubled to make patties. I would suggest using as little broth as you need if doing that.

Really tasty, high in protein, low in cost and fast!

12 servings, 1/2 cup each.

This recipe is a mix of several other different chili recipes found. Very hearty and filling!

Old fashioned bean salad. The original recipe calls for 3/4 cup sugar. I reduced it to 1/4 cup. I also substituted a cup of chickpeas for the original wax beans. (Adapted from Joy of Cooking)

This Mexican-style baked cornmeal chili is a meal onto itself. I used kidney beans and black beans here, but feel free to use chickpeas and or/ pinto beans if desired.

A great burger or entree!
