Red bean salad with cottage cheese
Description
Now I'll tell you how to prepare a delicious red bean salad with cottage cheese in just 10 minutes. Nothing complicated—just the freshest ingredients and canned beans. It's aromatic and filling. You can also use boiled beans, but make sure to soak them in cold water for a couple of hours beforehand, then change the water and cook until tender. Cool them in the same cooking water, then drain in a colander—your beans are ready. If you don't have lemon juice on hand, you can replace it with apple cider vinegar or a mixture of regular vinegar with a spoonful of fresh orange juice. Good luck!
