Amazing, Greg and I agree on something! My summer salads almost always
include some kind of beans: Lima beans, black beans, garbanzo beans, green
beans, or kidney beans are the most favored. I also frequently put peas
into potato salad or pasta salad.

The _Chopstix_ cookbook has the following recipe for "Crunchy Baja Salad"
which I like to augment with a can of kidney beans:

Crunchy Baja Salad

SALAD
3 ears sweet corn, husked
1 avocado
5 ounces jicama
2 vine-ripened tomatoes
1 sweet red pepper
4 cups bite-sized pieces mixed salad greens
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups blue corn tortilla strips

DRESSING
2 tablespoons finely minced ginger
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 bunch chives
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon grated or finely minced orange peel
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

ADVANCE PREPARATION AND SERVING

1. Stand the ears of corn on their ends and cut off the kernels. Seed,
peel, and thinly slice the avocado. Peel the jicama and cut into thin
bite-sized rectangles. Seed the tomatoes, then cut just the outside
sections into 1/2-inch chunks. Seed and stem the pepper, then cut into
1/2-inch cubes. Toss salad greens with the olive oil. Set aside the
tortilla strips.

2. Mince the ginger in a food processor. Add the cilantro and chives and
mince again. Add the remaining dressing ingredients, then process for 20
seconds.

3. Arrange the greens on salad plates (2 as a main course, 4 as a salad
course). Sprinkle the tortilla strips over the greens. In a bowl, place the
corn, avocado, jicama, tomatoes, and peppers; add the dressing and toss.
Spoon onto center of the greens and serve at once.

BOB'S NOTES:

ALEPH) As I mentioned, I like to add a can of kidney beans to this; it goes
into
the bowl with the avocado/corn mixture.

BETH) I only add half the dressing to the mixture in the bowl; I serve the
rest
of the side.

I agree. Just a thought, but sometimes people use frozen peas. You can
just let them thaw, or run them under some cold water, or nuke until
just defrosted.

The baby corn is really not that bad, and commonly found cold on salad
bars.

This thread is flat-out repellent! Gaa!!!

As Patches mentioned earlier, commercially canned foods aren't a happenin'
thing [for me]. I will, however, make an exception for any type of canned
fish; I agree with Sheldon on that point. And as I child, I used to adore
cold canned corned beef on saltines with hot mustard; I seriously doubt I'd
like it these days.

For cold meals away from home, I tend to go with sandwiches, wraps or
salads along with a couple of pieces of cheese and fresh fruit. Hard
boiled eggs are good too. I have a nice thermos though so I can take
along hot homemade soups if I choose. Personally, I can do quite nicely
without commercially canned foods

Once again, Patches and I appear to be simpatico. I used to schlep
hard-boiled eggs, "just peanuts 'n salt" peanut butter," corn cakes, and
fruit with me wherever I went. My job had me chasing back and forth all
over the Bay Area in those days, but stocked with my on-the-go larder, I
never felt in the least temped by fast food. Protein, carbs (which I've
*never* eschewed) and fiber -- with the addition of water and some
unsweetened iced tea, I was always good to go.

Not me. I use tomatoes in lots of my cooking, and except for about two
months of the year it's pointless to try to use fresh. I use a lot of
canned beans too, because the lead time to prepare dried is long, and I
really don't feel there's much improvement unless you're making bean
soup.

Pretty much the same here. Sandwiches are good cold, as are salads.
Cheese and crackers, fruit (though not fridge cold, I don't like that).
If I were in a situation with no stove and no microwave and no fire,
this is the kind of thing I would eat. Not cold canned food. *shudder*

Oh, I do eat canned tuna out of the can sometimes, usually when I'm
pregnant.

Ooh I'd forgotten about 'kraut! :-)
It's good cold also.

I have a helluva time finding canned bean sprouts.
Wish I could! The fresh ones don't keep long. At all!

I do like kidney beans on a salad. I imagine you could pour a little salad
dressing on some of those items to make them tastier. What about fruits? I
love pineapple right out of the can.

I just can't wrap mind around cold cream soup.

But I like:
English Peas
Hominy
Red kidney beans
niblet corn - especially, Mexicalli corn
Durkee French fried onions
If I were very, very hungry, I could eat beets (boo, hiss)
....Just about any canned veggie that I would toss on a green salad.

One of my favorite, but not canned, foods is raw red potatoes. Sliced in
thin rounds with the peel or unpeeled and cut in quarters.

Give me a little salt and I'm good to go.

Are we having a picnic?

Cold canned soup & spinach??? SHUDDER!!

Green & Yellow beans, cut, whole or French styled? Bring 'em on.

Canned Asparagus? Is there any way to eat those but cold? I'd rather have
fresh, but since that's only rarely possible around here, I keep a few cans
of spears for when I get a hankering. Then it's the entire can, cold.

Baby corns? stir fries only

Black olives? I'll eat black olives till they come out my ears (I'm built
funny). Side note: When I go to Subway I watch the 2 or 3 people ahead of
me to see what they're ordering on their subs then I tell the person making
mine "Heavy on the black olives. Those last 3 people didn't take any, put
their share on my sandwich, please." Sometimes it works, sometimes it
doesn't. My favorite counter guy used to add the mustard first then use it
to hold the load of olives he'd put on. Ultimately, I paid for those olives
with the extra tip he got.

Chick peas, just rinsed then sprinkled with a bit of Italian dressing. Yum!

Canned tomatoes with lots of freshly cracked pepper.

My main quick canned standby for work lunches is tuna. We have these
little single serve cans of flavoured tunas - tomato and basil, lemon
pepper etc. Those I'll happily eat out of the can, though I usually have
time to toast some bread to put the tuna on.

I can't think of anything normally served hot that I willingly eat cold
from the can..

Actually, I just ate two tiny cans of tuna on a pair of english muffins
for lunch today in my office. I bought some oddball brand of tuna from
the Chelsea Market when I was there with Margaret and Sue one day last
spring, I took the cans to work and I promptly forgot about them until
now.

As it happens, I have to pack up all my stuff at work so my office can
be renovated. When I was going through a pile of stuff on one of my
desks, I found those tuna cans, so I ate two today for lunch. I did not
do this due to a lack of time though and the tuna was quite good!

I have some cans of soup that I need to polish off too. I will be damned
if I eat those cans of soup cold. Nothing in my life is so important
that it can't wait a couple of minutes for me to heat up a can of soup.

No, but even if I did, I would eat foods such as canned tuna or chicken
if I were in that much of a hurry.

You're not really getting the point. You said that there wasn't
anything in your life that was so important that it couldn't wait for
you to heat up soup. You also said something about if someone's job
requires that much time from someone, or doesn't give "proper" breaks
then it is a job to flee, I was pointing out that there are jobs that
don't allow such breaks at convenient times.

Sometimes it can take 8 hours to eat 1/2 of a can of tuna. ;-)

Hold that thought. If wanting quick and easy, but still heated, take
those stewed, or chopped, canned tomatoes, canned beans (any red,
pinto, white, navy), some chopped onions and herbs if you wish, and
mixed with leftover rice. That can become beans & rice, or jambalaya,
without the hours'-long preparaton those recipes normally call for.
OK, then add some chopped ham or chicken or pork leftovers. OK, I'm
digressing from the thread.

None. It takes all of two minutes to dump a can of food into a bowl and
nuke it. If your job gets so busy that you do not have even two minutes
to prepare something for lunch is the day you should start looking for
another job!

Pickled beets are beet pickles, and thus would not often, if ever, be
eaten warm.

Right you are, and I do love pickled beets. I think the closest to
pickled beets that you would eat warm would be harvard beets. I really
like those too.

Pickled beets are typically sold in jars (same brand as red pickled
cabbage - Loehmann's?), it's recommended to heat. I think pickled
beets are better heated, but typically I marinate them in the fridge
and they rarely get to the pot.

That reminds me of what happened when I was a newlywed and my dh's
grandmother gave us a bunch of canned goods. I didn't know the jar of
beets were pickled and dumped them into a pan and heated them as if they
were a vegetable. You could smell them all through the apartment
building....lol....Sharon
