Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with beans and vegetables? Prepare your food. You can change the quantity and composition of vegetables according to your taste or availability. Take red beans, without additives, in their own juice. If you wish, you can cook it yourself. You can use any onion for the salad, I used red. Both regular and cherry tomatoes are suitable, depending on taste and availability.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the lettuce leaves well under running water. And then dry thoroughly. It is very convenient to dry greens in a special centrifuge, in which the leaves are completely dry. But if you don't have one, dry them with paper towels. Do not leave greens wet - they will quickly lose their appearance in the finished dish. Take a salad bowl and tear the lettuce leaves into it with your hands. It is with your hands - contact with metal will quickly wither the salad.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the cucumbers, dry and cut into rings. Or smaller, depending on their size. In general, the cutting method in this type of salad is not critical, cut it as you like. Just try the cucumbers first to see if they are bitter - such fruits will ruin the taste of the dish. Place cucumbers on lettuce leaves.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the tomatoes, dry and cut into halves. Add them to your salad.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the bell pepper, dry it, remove the seeds and stem and cut first into rings and then into smaller pieces. Place it in a salad bowl as well.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the onion, cut into thin feathers. Add it to the salad.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add beans to the rest of the ingredients.

8. STEP 8

   

   Prepare the dressing - mix mustard, vegetable oil and lemon juice in a bowl. Take any mustard and butter, the main thing is that you like their taste. Vary the amount of lemon juice yourself. You can also add a little liquid honey.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour dressing over salad. Salt and pepper it to taste. Serve the salad immediately - dishes made from fresh vegetables do not sit for long, as they release juice. Bon appetit!

I made a salad with beans and vegetables for dinner. It turned out bright, juicy, satisfying and fantastically tasty. I didn’t add grainy mustard to the dressing, due to personal preference, but it turned out well even without it. This salad can even be served as a snack, separately from everything else, especially in the warm summer. Thank you very much for the recipe!
