Tangy kidney bean salad with beet greens, spinach, imitation bacon, and red wine vinegar. Delicious and savory side dish!
Ingredients:
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, juice drained and reserved
  • 1 small white onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 cups baby spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 1 bunch beet greens and stems, roughly chopped
  • 0.66666668653488 cup imitation bacon bits, or to taste
  • 0.5 cup red wine vinegar

Instructions:
  • Set aside the beans, keeping 1/4 cup of the liquid.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion in olive oil until translucent and slightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Toss in spinach and beet greens, covering the pan to wilt the leaves, approximately 2 minutes. Sprinkle bacon bits over the mixture.
