Bring This Bean Salad to the Potluck
Bring This Bean Salad to the Potluck
May 22, 2024
'Set it and forget it’ is our warm weather cooking motto, and nothing lends itself better to that strategy than putting up a pot of beans before a beach day and coming home to dinner almost done. The best part? Those frijoles are the gift that keeps on giving.
Our favorite knock-out side dish is a bright, fresh bean salad that gets better with time and is a welcome addition to any barbecue or picnic. We love our Ayocote Pinto Beans for this treatment — they’re plump and earthy, and so hearty you just might forget about the mains.

Hi Joe! 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temp is usually enough to soften the onions and peppers and mellow the bite. If you have more time, a few hours or overnight in the fridge will deepen the flavor even more.
Hi Guy! We recommend using half of a medium-sized red onion, diced. Thanks for bringing it up!
This is a fantastic salad. I used your Ayocote Pinto Beans, soaked overnight. Used the suggested veggies, peeled the bell peppers for easier digestion. 1 seeded serrano supplied exactly the right amount of heat.
As you say, it get’s better the longer it sits.
Will definitely make this for the next food get together I attend.
Thanks,
Joe
Beans are soaking as we speak.
How long would you recommend marinating the onions/pepper in the lime juice and salt?
Thanks,
Joe
How much pickled red onion and how chopped?
