This is an easy, quick, and wonderful vegetable salad dish that is so refreshing served ice cold. My mother-in-law had it at every barbeque and if you don't like beets or peas, you will love this as it tastes like neither.
Low Glycemic Impact Recipes: Ten Bean Soup I | Submitted By: Laurie Brantley
One pound of mixed beans soaked over night are cooked covered in water with onions, celery and garlic sauteed with bacon in this recipe for a simple, yet hearty, soup.
This is a very flavourful recipe from North India, usually eaten with fried bread like bhatura or puri. I like to serve it over rice for a very filling meal.
