3 Bean Salad! Perfect for outdoor summer parties, this semi-sweet and colorful 3 bean salad is super easy to whip up and a great go-to side dish that fits in any meal.

Walnut meat tacos can be served raw or heated for a healthy meaty alternative to lentils or vegetables. With only a few ingredients, transform walnuts into delicious taco meat in a matter of minutes.

Vegan Walnut Meat Tacos

raw organic walnuts

julienned sun-dried tomatoes

tomato paste

chipotle chili peppers

vegan taco seasoning

Corn or flour tortillas

Boil 2 cups of water and soak 1 cup of sun-dried tomatoes for 10 minutes until they are soft.

Then, drain the water and place them in the base of the food processor with the large blade and process on high until they are chopped into little pieces.

Next, add the raw walnuts and the remaining ingredients.

At this point, you must PULSE the ingredients rather than process or high.

As a result, the walnut meat should look a similar consistency to taco meat.

You don&#39;t, however, want it to be too mushy by over-processing. 

Once processed, transfer the walnut meat to a bowl, and at this point, it can be served as raw walnut meat tacos, or, you can heat it in a pan for crunchier hot taco meat

In order to heat the walnut meat, use a large non-stick skillet and cook over medium-low temperature until the taco meat is heated through (about 10 minutes)

Heat the corn or flour tortilla in a skillet, microwave, or oven.

For an added WOW level, put the walnut taco meat and other toppings on one side of the tortilla, fold it over, and cook it in the pan, making a hot, crunchy exterior taco shell.

3 Bean Salad Recipe

Delicious, honey-sweetened three bean salad recipe that&#039;s safe for canning - this will become a go-to side dish for BBQs and family dinners.

Easy Three Bean Salad Recipe - Water Bath Canned, Low Sugar, Honey Sweetened

green beans (about 1.5-2 pounds)

kidney beans, (1 can)

garbanzo beans, (1 can)

sweet red pepper, (about 1 large pepper)

celery, (optional)

water

honey ((or 1/2 cup cane sugar))

salt

black pepper, (to taste)

red pepper flakes, (optional to taste)

Cut up green beans into bite-sized pieces (smaller pieces make it easier to add to the jars and to eat afterwards) and prep the other produce. Fill canner 3/4 full with water and set on heat to bring to a simmer.

Add all the prepped ingredients to a 6-8 quart stockpot and bring to a boil. Lower heat and let simmer 5 minutes, stirring a couple times.

While salad is simmering, wash 5 pint jars with hot, soapy water. Rinse well and then fill again with hot water to sit while finishing cooking. Wash lids and rings to have ready as well.

Using a stainless steel canning funnel and slotted spoon, fill the jars with the drained salad. It&#39;s easiest to use the slotted spoon to fill the jars with the salad to about an inch of headspace. Then use a stainless ladle to add the liquid leaving a 1/2 inch of headspace. (Doing it this way helps to even out the salad and liquid across all 5 pints).

Remove air bubbles with a chopstick (or small spatula) and add more liquid if needed to keep the 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe rim and attach lid to just fingertip tight.

Add jar to the canner rack and repeat with remaining 4 jars. TIP: Keep rack above water, fill with all the jars and then lower rack and jars all at once before turning up heat to high to start boiling.

When the canner comes to a boil, start timing for 15 minutes. Adjust the heat to keep at a nice, even boil. When done, turn off heat, remove lid and let jars sit in canner 5 minutes (this helps prevent siphoning).

Use a jar lifter to remove jars to a towel lined surface (I like to use a tray to be able to move them without disturbing if needed). Cool 12 hours, check lids for seal, label and store.
