Cold Beans Salad in Mayonnaise

Legumes are a rich source of protein and a staple food in many countries. Legumes are classified as lentils, beans, or peas, and all of them are basically seeds from specific plants.Beans, such as Kidney beans, Pinto beans, Navy beans and Black beans, are naturally low in total fat, contain no saturated fat or cholesterol, and provide important nutrients such as fiber, protein, calcium, iron, folic acid and potassium..Not only are legumes highly nutritious, they are very versatile, lending themselves to all kinds of dishes and combining marvelously with grains, vegetables and spices, and they taste delicious, with a buttery texture and subtly nutty flavor.Plus, they’re filling and satisfy the appetite..Nowadays there’s a tremendous variety of beans in canned selling in both markets and restaurants.For me the easier way to make this beans is to combined with mayonnaise ,bacon and grated Romano cheese as salad..The result is really great!!
