Butter bean salad

Not sure if I've posted this before, but a repeat is also good.

Butter Bean Salad from Rachael Ray

2 cans butter beans, rinsed and drained, 15 ounces each
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/3 palm full
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large lemon, juiced
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

This is especially good for a pot luck. Because I live alone, it tends to make more than I can consume, although I could probably cut it in half. It absolutely doubles or triples very well. I've also made it to serve at the homeless shelter.

1. Sounds good. And healthy.

I love beans in almost any form. They're so versatile, delicious, cheap, tasty, and nutritious.

2. They are especially good if you're making them for

vegetarians and vegans.

3. Yes

I’m vegan myself

5. I make one almost the same, including cumin, but with chickpeas.

Really good and keeps well in the refrigerator for lunches, etc, too. I'll have to try it with butter beans.

6. Interesting.

Chickpeas. Not sure I'd like it that way, but I'm sure lots of people would.

If you get a chance, report on what you think of the butter bean version.

7. Sure. I like chickpeas, but I think I found the recipe because

they're supposed to help weight loss by being extra filling. I just looked, though, and so, to no big surprise, are butter beans. I like nibbling on this salad as a snack.
