$2.25-5.00 canned beans are not cheap. Plus it is hard to eat just them for a meal.
Really?
My local safeway has $1.19 cans of organic beans. Cheap and good.
Simple recipe for summer bean salad:
1 can of black eye peas (draining the extra liquid would be preferable but no mandatory)
1 small-medium onion or replace with half a bunch of scallions (green onions) sliced to small pieces
1 medium tomato sliced to small pieces
1/2 cucumber chopped to small pieces
EVOO 1-2 tbsp
juice of half a lemon or 1-2 tbsp vinegar (any tyoe you like)
S&P to taste.
Toss together and enjoy. Yummy and filling.
