A very traditional salad in Chile.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4

Ingredients

Units
  • 1 cup pinto beans, soak overnight in water. If using fresh, don’t soak. You can also use canned
  • 1 large onion cut half-moon as thin as possible
  • salt, oil, lemon, and parsley to taste

Instructions

  1. Drain the beans. Cook the beans in salted water until they are soft but not mushy, between 40 minutes and 1 hour and a half. It depends on how old the beans are. Always try 3-4 beans before declaring them ready, and drain.

  3. Mix the beans and onion in a bowl, and dress in salt, lemon, and a little oil. Add, if desired, chopped parsley, try, adjust the seasoning, and serve.
