    Simple Marinated Beans

    Published: Feb 8, 2011 · Updated: Apr 7, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Mix up your favorite beans with fresh herbs and a vinaigrette, and you've got a great way to add protein to a meal. Adapted from The Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet.

    Serves: 6

    • Two 15- to 16-ounce cans black, pinto, or pink beans, or black-eyed peas
      (or a combination of two kinds), drained and rinsed, or 3 ½ to 4 cups cooked beans
    • ¼ to ½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro,
      or a combination (you can also add a little fresh dill to this mix)
    • 2 to 3 scallions, thinly sliced
    • ⅓ cup natural low-fat vinaigrette, homemade or store-bought
    • Juice of ½ to 1 lemon, to taste
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    Combine the ingredients in a serving container and toss well. Cover and marinate an hour or two, refrigerated. Stir up once in a while. Serve as a cold side dish on its own, or mix into a green salad.
