I’ve been eating canned soup for lunch for months and am tired of it, so for the past several weeks I’ve been bringing in bean salads instead.
This lentil and tuna salad from the New York Times sounds strange but was really good. I like lentils, but they don’t have much flavor on their own; mixing them with tuna and the mustard and garlic in the dressing adds a lot.
Probably my favorite so far has been the black bean and avocado salad (with tomato, bell pepper, and lime juice). It’s impossible to not like something with avocado in it.
Chickpea, carrot, and feta salad wasn’t as good (even without the anchovy), though I’ve added green olives to the leftovers which should help with the blandness.
Anyone got any outstanding bean salad recipes?
