This simple kidney bean salad is versatile and you can make it with whatever beans you have in your pantry. You could use canned or home cooked beans. If using canned beans, make sure to drain them and rinse the beans under cold water before combining with the other salad ingredients.

Cooked kidney beans are a great addition to an effective weight-loss diet. Kidney beans are high in protein and fibre and contain proteins that help reduce the digestion of starches, all of which may aid in weight loss.

Rajma Salad Recipe:

Red kidney beans salad, a high protein summer dish, can be made in a cinch and is so colourful and nourishing. This lip-smacking, nutrient-packed vegetarian salad is amazing and one of my favourite salad recipes. A great summer salad, it pairs well with any grilled dish.

• To make vegetarian rajma salad, firstly soak the kidney beans overnight. Next morning, drain the water and rinse the kidney beans well.

• Place the rajma in a pressure cooker with sufficient water and cook on high for 10 whistles or until soft. Turn off the stove knob and allow the pressure to come down.

• Meanwhile, slice the onion and chop the tomato, green chilli and coriander leaves and keep aside.
• In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Keep the rajma salad dressing aside.
• Once the pressure comes down, open the cooker and strain the boiled kidney beans. Then transfer the boiled rajma into a large bowl.
• Add the sliced onions.

• Next put in chopped tomatoes.

• Mix in the green chillies.

• Add the chopped coriander leaves.

• Pour the prepared dressing over the red kidney beans.

• Toss to coat well.

• Serve Rajma Salad cold or at room temperature with chilli cheese toast or garlic bread.
