Poshalicious Recipes: Three Bean Salad

 When we first heard about the shutdowns and pandemic, I bought a big bag of three types of legumes/beans that we love to eat. Typically, I buy cans, but I decided to be smart and frugal and use our Instant Pot. 

Now it is a few months later and it never happened. I decided to look up recipes where I would be able to use them up. 

Here is one that I am going to try out that sounds both yummy and healthy. Of course, it is much more work than using the cans, but I will soak the beans overnight. As an FYI soaking them overnight makes it much easier on the tummy!

PS- The Instant Pot is awesome, and I highly recommend it.

Ingredients

• 6 oz/175 g mixed salad greens
• 1 red onion
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 cooked beets
• ¾ cup thinly sliced radishes
• 1 cup canned (or dried) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• ¾ canned (or dried) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup canned (or dried) flageolets, drained and rinsed
• Scant 1/3 cup dried cranberries
• Scant ½ cup roasted cashew nuts
• About 2 cups drained feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

• Arrange the salad greens in a salad bowl and set aside.
• Cut the onion in half and thinly slice to form semicircles. Put into a bowl.
• Cut the tomatoes in half and peel the beets, if necessary and dice.
• Add to the onion with the remaining ingredients, except for the nuts and cheese.
• Sprinkle over the nuts and cheese and serve at once.
