Bean Salad is excellent, full and good dish. You can use any beans – green or baked beans. If you use usual beans, do not forget to pre-soak it in cold water, it will significantly reduce the cooking time.
Beans itself is quite self-contained product, so it is possible to do all sorts of experiments!
It can be a light salad with vegetables, or something more valid, such as a salad with beans and meat or beans and ham.
Salad basically a very multifunctional dish. It can be like main dish as Smoked Chanterelle and Porchini Salad with Garlic Chips and Thyme Oil or a very light meal, like a salad with spinach and strawberries.
I’ve done a selection of salads on the project Food’n’Chef earlier, and if suddenly you missed it, you can read here 😉
His recipe for bean salad shared with us Artak Sarkysyan, Chef from Armenia.

Although we are accustomed to the fact that all the dishes of the Armenian cuisine, often very labor-intensive, with lots of ingredients and long hours of cooking, but there are some exceptions.
If you work with beans earlier, the process of preparation of salad takes less than 10 minutes. And certainly there are all the ingredients in your fridge.
So if the guests suddenly appeared near you doors, bean salad is your salvation. Your plan B.
