Cold Bean Salads?
 

Anyone have a bean-based salad they love? Vegetarian :)

This one is super popular every time I make it!

2 cans Black Eyed peas
1/2 red onion chopped
3-4 sticks celery chopped
(optional green or spicy pepper, chopped)
2 T olive oil
2 T vinegar (I prefer apple cider vinegar)
oregano
salt and pepper

I don't measure anything, so I probably add more EVOO and ACV, but 2 T would be a good place to start. Fresh basil is also delicious in it.

My favorite-

1 can black beans
2 small or one large tomato
1 large avocado
1 c. frozen corn, thawed
1/4 c. Italian dressing (optional- I know it sounds weird but it's not)
some chopped fresh cilantro
splash of lime juice

Eat it with a fork or eat it with chips. It's loved by omnivores as well!

Super easy, and everyone loves it.
Can black beans
diced pepper (orange, yellow, red - green is a bit too harsh)
Tbsp of olive oil
tbsp or so of balsamic
tsp of cumin

That's it. Even not veggie lovers like this when I bring it places.

Any lentil suggestions? They seem to sit well with me.

Smitten Kitchen has a few, some are warm but I've eaten cold too. http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2007/...weet-potatoes/
