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 breans 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.
Awesome, thank you!
bean
I need to start thinking about this kind of thing for when summer starts. Hopefully my parsley starts growing soon.
Looking good!
