That wasn't a difficult puzzle. Of course, red beans are considered almost a symbol of Mexican cuisine. Many dishes from this country are based on them. They are an important ingredient of the famous chilli con carne, but they also perfectly fit into salads.

Healthy and convenient

Red beans are a very "convenient" ingredient. You need to open a can. However, that's not their only benefit. Beans belong to the highly desirable legumes in the diet. They are primarily a good source of protein. Due to their favourable amino acid profile, they can be an alternative to animal protein. Beans also contain fibre and vitamins, especially those from the B group. They also deserve attention due to their significant amounts of iron and zinc.

Express speed

The YouTube channel "Quick and Tasty" creator used red beans for the salad. She emphasized that preparing this delicious dish took her only 20 minutes. It is very colourful, so everyone will surely want to try it. Additionally, as she praises, it tastes fantastic! You can serve it with light grilled dishes. Who wants to try such a salad?
