We’re always on the look out for an easy side dish and we love the idea of combining beans and cabbage. With Saint Patrick’s Day right around the corner, this makes a great addition to your corned beef. When plated, the vibrant greens really emphasize the freshness of these wintery ingredients. It’s also a cinch to make- you simply put all of the fresh ingredients into a bowl, mix them together and stick your bowl in the fridge. The simplicity and easy of crafting this dish means less preparation for you and more time around the dinner table with the family.
Despite the name, this interesting blend of beans and cabbage is versatile and can be served throughout the year. It’s hearty enough for cold days in and portable enough for the warmer months. This bean salad is great for picnics and makes an ideal side dish when served with Polish sausage or any other grilled item. You can also refrigerate any leftover servings in individual bowls for a perfect snack time treat.
