Edamame Kidney Bean Chick Pea Salad Recipe 455

Steps:

• Thaw & drain soybeans in colander, rinse with cold water. In large bowl combine soybeans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, onion & cilantro. In a small bowl whisk together oil, lime peel, lime juice & 1/2 t. salt. Pour over bean mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 24 before serving. Stir well before serving.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen corn; cook and stir until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in diced onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Stir edamame, black beans, garbanzo beans, roasted red pepper, sea salt and cumin into corn mixture; cook and stir until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cilantro and lime juice; toss to combine.

Steps:

• Use unsalted ingredients when possible, otherwise, rinse well to get rid of excess salt.

• Pour beans into dish with edamame and corn.
• Add cut red pepper to dish.
