Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Salad Base
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rinsed and drained kidney beans, the finely diced red onion, minced garlic, chopped walnuts, and fresh cilantro. If you're using it, add the minced jalapeño.
Make the Dressing
In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Combine and Chill
Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and stir gently until everything is evenly coated. For the best flavor, cover the bowl and let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30-60 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve
Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or vinegar if needed. You can serve it chilled or at room temperature, garnished with a few extra walnuts and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
