 Posted: 09/18/03 - 11:03 Post subject: Cold bean salad?
I have a picnic to attend Saturday and need a good salad that doesn't have mayonaise. I was thinking just cold baked beans. Anyone done this? Anyone have advice?
200 cookbooks and I am at a loss......

That sounds fabulous!! I've never used rice vinegar, though. Is it already "seasoned"? And can other types of vinegar be substituted? Like a smoky Lapsong-Souchong vinegar?

I don't know if we've ever got the "seasoned" vinegar... just done our own seasoning. Yeah, go ahead with another vinegar. The smoky flavor sound scrumptous!

Marinated Balsamic Bean Salad
This is great at lunch, or as a side dish on hot summer nights. It keeps well for quite a long time in the fridge.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup frozen whole-kernel corn
1 cup frozen cut green beans
1 (16-ounce) can kidney beans
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1 (15-ounce) can black beans
1 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
INSTRUCTIONS:
Estimated Total Time: 4 hours, 10 minutes
Combine the first 5 ingredients in a colander; rinse and drain. Combine onion and remaining ingredients in a bowl; add corn and beans, tossing gently to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator at least 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Serve with a slotted spoon.
