Notes

Additions and Variations

- Kidney beans - I like to use dark red kidney beans, but you could use light or a combination of both. It's a good salad or side dish recipe that is a great source of protein from the beans. Browse all our bean recipes here to find your next favorite!

- Bell Pepper - you can use any color you have on hand for this recipe.

- Onion - I usually use yellow onions, but you can use white or red onion for a spicier version.

Pro Tips

When chopping the celery and onion, dice them fine and them roughly the same size. You want the pieces small enough to be bite-sized and consistent.

While dark red kidney beans are traditional in this salad, you can use light red kidney beans in a pinch!

If making this recipe ahead of time, be sure to stir well before serving.
