Step 1:
How to make a salad with canned beans and crackers? Prepare the ingredients. Canned beans are used, but if you wish, you can take fresh and boil it yourself in advance. Crackers are better suited rye, without any additives. You can also make them yourself.
Step 2:
Flip the beans into a colander, then rinse with water. Leave it to dry in a colander.
Step 3:
Wash the cucumber, dry it and cut it into cubes.
Step 4:
Wash the dill, dry it and chop it finely.
Step 5:
Put canned beans, cucumbers and crackers in a salad bowl. If you are not going to serve the salad to the table right away, then it is better to add crackers to it just before serving, otherwise they will get wet and the salad will lose all its crispness.
Step 6:
Salt the salad to taste and season with sour cream. Instead of sour cream, you can use mayonnaise, but then the caloric content of the salad will increase.
Step 7:
Mix everything. Garnish the finished salad with a sprig of dill and serve to the table. Bon appetit!

This salad can also be made from canned white beans or green string beans.

Beans can be used not canned, but boiled. Green beans do not cook for very long, but red or white beans will have to be pre-soaked for 6-8 hours and then boiled in salted water until ready (about 1 hour).

Salad can be made without cucumbers, only crackers and beans. But with a fresh cucumber, the salad will turn out fresher. Salads with beans are quite satisfying. But you can also add boiled eggs or boiled sausage.

Beans were once considered a product for the poor. In terms of protein content and many other components, it is as close as possible to meat, because it was included in the diet of families who could not afford it. The situation has changed, and the benefits of beans have made it a sought-after product for absolutely everyone.

Nutritionists rank beans among the 10 healthiest foods in the world. This culture from the legume family is a real storehouse of vitamins, amino acids and minerals. Depending on the variety, it may contain a different ratio of them. Canned beans retain all the useful substances, and this method of cooking greatly simplifies its consumption. If raw beans need to be soaked in water for a long time and then boiled, then it is enough to simply buy canned beans and open a jar.

The peel from cucumbers, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut off.

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

Sour cream can be replaced with natural yogurt without additives. You can also use mayonnaise as a dressing, which is better to prepare yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
