Calico Bean Salad

Categories: Beans | Salads

Serves: 4 Servings

Ingredients:

1 c Dried black beans
1 c Dried red beans
1 c Dried white beans
4 tb Red wine vinegar
2 ts Olive oil
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 ts Sugar
1 ts Lemon juice
1/4 ts Black pepper
1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
1 Red bell pepper,
- thinly sliced
1 bn Scallions, thinly sliced
6 Lettuce leaves
- preferably Boston | Bibb

Instructions:
Soak beans separately in small bowls for 4 hours or overnight; drain. Cook
in separate pots, covering each with 2 inches of fresh cold water. Bring to
a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until barely tender, about 1
hour. Don't overcook. Drain and cool beans by plunging them in cool water
to prevent the skins from splitting. Drain and set aside.

Just before serving, combine onion, vinegar, oil, salt, sugar, lemon juice,
black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Add beans, red
pepper, and scallions; toss to blend. Divide among four lettuce-lined
plates.
