Marinated Vegetable Salad (Vegan & Gluten Free)

Marinated Vegetable Salad.  This is a dish we have been making for a long time.  We got the recipe from my mother-in-law.  I love cold salads.

I recently wrote 5 Quick and Easy Salad Ideas that included a lot of my other salad recipes.  They taste great and don’t take much effort at all.  My kind of recipe if you haven’t noticed by now!

We used dried beans for the recipe and just soaked them all in one big jar overnight, and then boiled them in the morning for about 15-20 minutes until they became soft.

Then, we let them cool before putting this recipe together.  Dried beans are far cheaper and taste much cleaner too.  I never noticed that until I started eating them on a regular basis.

Recipe Notes

You can eat this right away, but for the best flavor, please let sit in the fridge for at least 8 hours. That’s it. Easy! This makes about 6 good size servings servings. It should keep for at least a week in the fridge.

Curried Kidney Beans and Corn

This is a dish that my husband and I have been making for a long time.  In fact, we made it so often, that we got tired of it for awhile.  We also did that with our Black Bean Veggie Burgers.  We decided to make it again because it had been months since we last had it.  If you are thinking about trying something different, I suggest you give this one a try.  It would be a great dish for you to test out whether you like curry and tumeric.

This is also very inexpensive and easy to make.  It makes a fairly good amount too.  Just a warning though, tumeric will stain, so make sure to use cooking utensils that are not white.  I made that mistake and now mine is yellow. 🙂
