Good looking and versatile, this colorful salad features a winning trio of beans—edamame, black-eyed peas, and black beans—bathed in a citrus- and spice-infused dressing that’s all kinds of satisfying. Vary the taste effect by adding crumbled feta or tossing in some garbanzo beans.
Ingredients
Makes 6 servings
Step 1
Cook the edamame in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan of boiling salted water, uncovered, 4 minutes. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a small heavy skillet over moderately low heat until hot but not smoking, then cook the cumin, stirring, until fragrant and a shade darker, about 30 seconds. Pour into a large heatproof bowl.
Step 3
Add the edamame, black beans, peas, onion, celery, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper to the cumin oil and toss to coat. Let stand 10 minutes for flavors to blend.

Back to TopThis is a very good and very different three bean salad. I used cannoli beans instead of black-eyed peas, and the creamy beans contrasted nicely with the crisp celery. I think it is suitable for family &/or guests, so now it goes into our rotation for the summer!
