This red bean salad with mushrooms tastes heavenly delicious, is healthy and filling. It is easy to prepare with just a few common ingredients. You can serve it both during the week and at a barbecue. You can find a detailed kidney bean salad recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.

Use can or cooked beans
Kidney beans are the main ingredient in this recipe, just like in the kidney bean fritters recipe. The taste of the salad depends on this.
Use high-quality can kidney beans, just like for the black bean brownies. Rinse them thoroughly with clean water.
Alternatively, you can use dried kidney beans and cook them yourself. Soak them in plenty of cold water overnight beforehand to shorten the cooking time.

Kidney bean salad with mushrooms
My kidney bean salad also contains button mushrooms. I fried them beforehand. The flavor combination of beans and mushrooms is incredibly delicious and unique, similar to buckwheat and mushrooms.
Season to taste
I seasoned the kidney bean salad with fried onions and fresh garlic. It was also refined with parsley and soy sauce. I also seasoned it with salt and black pepper.
You can also use other spices and herbs, as you would for the zucchini caviar or the salad “Donskoy”. Refine the red bean salad with chives, chili, lemon juice or vinegar, among other things.

How to serve and store kidney bean salad
The kidney bean salad is filling and healthy. It can also be prepared in no time at all, similar to the coleslaw with sour cream or the Russian carrot salad.
You can therefore serve the red bean salad as a full main meal for lunch or dinner if you’re in a hurry. But it is also perfect as a side dish, for example with vegetarian fritters.
In addition to the herb bread with garlic, the eggplant caviar and the Russian beet salad, the red bean salad is a must at a garden party. It also works perfectly as a cold appetizer.
Store the leftovers of the kidney bean salad in an airtight container in the fridge, for example in a salad bowl with a lid. It will still taste delicious over the next few days.
