Recipe for a warm bean, mushroom spinach salad with a juicy dressing<\/em><\/p>\n

I love making and eating salads. But I understand why some people don\u2019t feel the same way.<\/p>\n

One common reason? A low tolerance for raw vegetables. But here\u2019s the thing\u2014salads don\u2019t have to be raw.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can build a delicious salad with cooked, saut\u00e9ed or oven-roasted ingredients<\/strong> and serve it warm instead of cold. Ingredients like beans, mushrooms, spinach (not baby spinach), broccoli, zucchini, and beetroot<\/strong> work beautifully in cooked salads.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re also great for meal prepping<\/strong>\u2014store them in the fridge, then toss in a handful of this and that to create a hearty, gut-friendly salad your microbiome will thank you for!<\/p>\n

\"bean<\/p>\n

In this recipe, \u201cbeans\u201d refers not to green beans but to the dried legumes commonly used in Indian cooking. Traditionally, these beans are soaked overnight and pressure-cooked<\/strong> to make dishes like curries or sundal.<\/p>\n

For a long time, the only canned beans available in India were baked beans\u2014a staple in hotel breakfast buffets. Now, gourmet supermarkets and online stores like Amazon offer a wider variety, though most are imported. Brands like Urban Platter<\/strong> have started selling India-made canned beans, mainly rajma and chickpeas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Indian obsession with \u2018fresh\u2019 cooking makes people frown upon canned foods. But canned beans are a perfectly good option to stock up in your pantry for a quick hummus or soup or salad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I do have a recipe for a delicious 5 ingredient green bean salad<\/a>, if you came here looking for that kind of bean salad.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Some canned beans I like<\/h3>\n

    Urban Platter canned fava beans<\/a> for use in Middle Eastern dishes (product of China)<\/p>\n

    This recipe brings together hearty borlotti beans from a can along with simply sauteed mushrooms and spinach. Smoked paprika gives a touch of smokiness to the salad. The lemon juice-maple syrup and olive oil dressing gives the salad a juiciness that will make you go back for more.<\/p>\n
