what kinda beans do yall enjoy on a salad?

curious!

havent had beans on my salad in like a year & i just remembered i loved it.

Any & all possible kinds taste delightful to me. Soy beans are maybe my favourites, but by a whisker.

a whisker for soy beans?

 why?

haha

My favorite is edamame (plain if using a heavily flavored dressing, lightly salted if using salad oil).

I eat a couple of tablespoons of black beans on my salad pretty much every day.  They are sooooo good for you and just down right yummy.  Especially when they're dressed with lemon juice, olive oil and garlic.  Mmmmm.  

Edit: for some reason I saw this thread as "what do ya'll enjoy on a salad" and answered accordingly. I feel silly now :-P I like black beans!

I like a combination of opposing flavors. My mom makes a salad with homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing, spring mix, tomatoes, goat cheese, and grilled and seasoned chicken breast. That was a favorite of mine growing up.

I like salads with "fruit" flavors on them, like apple slices or something. Another favorite salad of mine came from a local restaurant my friends and I did lunch at all the time, it had spring mix, sliced pears, candied walnuts, and a really high quality bleu cheese. That one was high in calories though.

I had a really good salad with black beans, diced chicken breast, diced mangoes, and salsa as dressing. 

I once tossed a salad with spinach, clementine sections, other cut up fruit, and unsweetened applesauce as dressing. Yum.

I really like salad :)

I like to put kidney beans on mine. Today I had a spinach/romaine salad with red peppers, tomato, cucumbers, and avocado, and then I put about half a cup of very lightly sautued kidney beans on top (makes the flavor so much better and eliminates the need for dressing). I topped it with balsamic vinegar and it was so good and filling.

chick peas are my definite fav! But I love beans in general so any would be delicious!

garbanzo beans/chick peas are #1, followed by black beans and pinto beans.

yum!

I like them all.  Have you tried black eye peas in a salad?

I guess that they have a nuttier texture and flavour, and I`m just nuts for nuts! xD Plus I think they are best complemented by balsamic vinegar, which I adore.

What`s interesting is that everyone`s answers are so different. :] Beans are truly magical, I guess!
