(700

1

mustard
(16

1

honey
(21

2

lemon juice
(30

3

(15

(7

Directions: 
  1. Drain soaked beans and rinse well with water. Drain again.
  2. In roaster, combine beans and water over medium heat. When Vapo-Valve™ clicks steadily, reduce heat to low and cook for 1 - 1½ hours. Drain beans.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mustard, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, sea salt and oil. Pour over warm beans.
  4. When the beans have cooled, toss together with vegetables and herbs. Enjoy!
Tips: 
  • Feel free to substitute the black beans for kidney beans, chickpeas or white beans. You can even mix a few different beans for a colourful and festive salad. Beans are satisfying as they are loaded with protein and fiber. Top this salad on fresh greens or a pile of quinoa or brown rice.
