Bean salad

2400 Calories, 96g of protein.

Cost about $3.50 without the vinaigrette. The cucumber and avocado accounted for most of that cost.

That looks tasty, could you share the recipe?

420g beans (dry weight). I used chickpeas, black beans, and red kidney beans.
42g red onion (half of a small one)
368g cucumber (one large cucumber, de-seeded)
119g avocado (two small ones)
Some parsley
Vinaigrette: 60g red wine vinegar, 60g extra virgin olive oil, 19g dijon mustard, 32g honey, salt, black pepper, dry dill.

It wasn't enough avocado, but that's all I had on hand. I'd double it next time if possible.

Did you soak the beans in water beforehand or Should I use canned beans which are already soaked ?

I cooked these in the pressure cooker, so no soaking was needed. I've made similar salads with canned beans before and it makes little difference. It just costs a bit more in exchange for convenience.

I need to start thinking about this kind of thing for when summer starts. Hopefully my parsley starts growing soon.
