Wanna incorporate more beans and legumes into your diet? Here is the best way to do so. This 9 bean salad recipe is incredibly nutritious, colorful, and super refreshing. It is a perfect salad bowl to brighten up your day!!!

Mixed bean salad is a blend of 9 different beans along with diced veggies. This salad is packed with protein, complex carbs, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is pretty filling, so it can be eaten as a side or a meal by itself.

We love to consume a lot of beans and legumes as they are rich in antioxidants, fiber, protein, B vitamins, iron. In fact, beans are the common ingredients in my pantry. They are healthy, versatile, and readily available in markets. So I make sure we include them at least twice a week in a salad, sundal, or subzi form.

Bean salad also makes a perfect food for picnics, parties, and potlucks. This spicy salad is loaded with fresh flavors from crunchy raw veggies, seasonings, and herbs.

I generally do not buy canned beans as they contain added preservatives and sodium. So I prefer to get dried beans from the shop, soak them overnight in water, and use them the next day. It doesn't take much time. In fact, you can even soak beans in advance and store them in the freezer, and pressure cook when the recipe calls for.

Once I make the salad, I prefer to refrigerate it for a day or two and add the salt and spices while serving. If you don't like a cold bean salad, you may remove the bean salad from the refrigerator, bring it to room temperature, and add any of your favorite dressings.
