Pounded raw string bean salad
aristotle cabiles @pinoyfoodie
As most if not all my vegetarian recipes, this is once again developed for Britta. We had this salad in a trip advisor recommended food stop in Pakse, in Laos PDR. this was our last stop in our north to south Laos Christmas holiday. Most main courses in Laos are served with sticky rice and this was no exception. It originally is a non vegetarian salad as with most Asian salads because of the addition of fish sauce. Of course, salt can never replace the complex saltiness of fish sauce, but using salt to draw out flavors from the vegetables themselves balances out the sharpness of the salt, and thus rounds out the dish. This needs a mortar and pestle to prepare. A wooden one or a stone one would be best. The mortar and pestle in combination with abrasive ingredients like salt and sugar makes the 'dressing' for the salad. Again this is best served with flat bread and topped with smoked tofu.

- 1
In a mortar and pestle, place garlic cloves and salt and slowly crush garlic into a coarse paste.
- 2
Add beans and crush the beans, be careful not to turn the whole thing into a paste. Crunch is key to this salad.
- 3
Add tomatoes and slowly crush and incorporate into the mix.
- 4
Add sugar and mix with a spoon to put all ingredients that are sticking to the side of the mortar.
- 5
Add the cucumber and crush lightly to release the juices.
- 6
Season with lime juice, black pepper and chilli flakes.
- 7
Spoon into a serving bowl with a bed of lettuce and top with crushed, roasted peanuts and cashew nuts, fresh chilies and spring onions and drizzle with sesame seed oil.

Bean salad
Use to eat alkaline every other day, since starting my job we stopped. We are a big family of 6 and cooking was hard to work in busy schedules. We are trying to make many changes to better our lives and going back to alkaline seemed a great first step. One of my old fav websites is alkalinesisters. Picked at random and got bean salad, with minimal ingredients I put together something almost everyone loved. Pretty good for a bunch of picky eaters. Next time I make it in will be more prepared and update.

Had some yellow pear tomatoes from my garden, the last harvest for this season, and I came up with this to use them up. I used can green beans, I used what I had on hand. If you don’t have white beans of any kind, kidney beans or black beans will work too. You do you, use what you have.

Tuna and bean salad
This makes a tasty healthy lunch that is filling. I didn't measure any of the spices out. I just taste and adjust the seasoning to my liking. If you can't find the tajin clasico seasoning with lime I'm sure you can substitute with a little squeeze of lime juice or lime zest and get a similar flavor. Feel free to change the type of beans you use. I was thinking of trying black beans next time or a mixture of both !😊
Bean and corn salad in cumin-lime dressing
I love trying heirloom varieties of beans and wanted to create a bright salad with interesting, contrasting textures. I used San Franciscano beans, which are imported from Mexico by the company Rancho Gordo. Canned pintos or black beans should work as a substitute.This can be served right away but keeps well for meal prep. The flavors will meld better after some time in the fridge.
