Looking for an easy, protein-rich bean salad? This kidney bean salad with chickpeas is healthy, vegetarian and ideal as a lunch, side dish or meal salad. Full of fiber, vegetables and flavor - and ready in 15 minutes!
How often do you add beans to a salad? If you want to make a nice and healthy salad, you should try this bean salad. Beans and chickpeas are high in protein and filling. We Dutch still eat far too few vegetables and legumes. If you take a critical look at the amount of vegetables you eat per day, do you arrive at 250 grams? That is the recommended amount. I don't always get it either! But I try to make a salad like this kidney bean salad recipe with chickpeas more often. You can easily store it in the fridge. It still tastes fine the next day.
This is not only a super tasty dish, but also an ideal way to use up some leftovers! Those few olives in a jar from your fridge. Or half the bell pepper in your vegetable drawer, chop or slice them finely and add. This way you give your meal extra flavor and color. And you don't waste anything! Isn't that a lovely thing to happen?
Kidney Bean Salad with Chickpeas – Healthy Vegetarian Bean Salad
The name of the kidney bean is derived from the shape of the bean itself. It looks a bit like a kidney. They are also known as kidney beans. It is most often used in a chili con or sin carne. Strangely enough, these beans are very poisonous. The beans must therefore first be soaked and then boiled at 100 degrees. The beans in cans or in the supermarket are often steamed and then put in the package. Steam is 100 degrees so if you buy them they are just safe to eat!

Looks very tasty and I will definitely try it. But if I see it correctly in the photo, there is also corn in it, that is not listed in the ingredients…
