Kidney Bean Salad Recipes

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 :)

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)

While adding vegetable variety to this salad I have changed some traditional ingredients to my own taste and needs. Although a bit optimistic at first I found it was pretty good

Yummy fiber boosting fresh lunch.

This is a favorite from my childhood. It is far better the second or third day as the flavors marry but I typically end up making it the day we're having it, then looking forward more the next day.

The "Almost" is that I've substituted Light Buttermilk Ranch Dressing for half the usual mayonnaise in order to cut the calories and fats a bit. Also, I now use No Salt Added kidney beans and do not add any salt while preparing. Sometimes I will put a little shake of salt on when on my plate; I still miss the "full salt" version of my youth sometimes.

A teaspoon or two of horseradish, I don't use the creamy kind, goes well in this, especially the second day. It is not included here.

My Mom's recipe says "Some Mayonnaise", "Some Salt", and "Some Pepper" but I actually measured instead of making it by eye as is my norm.

Mom was very specific about the kidney beans being "Rinsed and Drained WELL." It does make a difference.

A delicious and nutritious salad that is a favorite.
You can substitute freshly squeezed lemon for the apple cider vinegar.

A nice side dish (small serving) or entree (full or bigger serving) for lunch.

Great side or snack

Good way to add protein and fiber.

This great side salad has wonderful textures and flavor. Makes for a nice side dish at a barbecue.

Great simple salad to add to any cook out spread.

This salad came about when the fixing for the nights meal mysterious exited the fridge. The cupboard and the fridge yielded a tasty mix that served as a main dish salad.
