Step 1:
How to make a salad of beans, tomatoes, cheese and crackers? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the salad. Canned beans can be used both white and red or a mixture of them. It will also work well with green beans. Only it will need to be pre-boiled in salted water until ready.
Step 2:
Drain all the liquid from the canned beans and discard the beans in a colander. It is advisable to rinse the beans with cold water to get rid of the remnants of viscous juice. Dry the washed beans.
Step 3:
You can use store-bought crackers and, depending on the additives, vary the taste of your salad. Or make crackers yourself. Crackers can be made of white or black bread, as you prefer. However, wheat crackers soak faster in the salad. That's why I always prefer rye. How to make crackers? Cut rye bread into small cubes and dry on a baking sheet in the oven at 180 ° C for 15-20 minutes. Cool the finished crackers.
Step 4:
Wash the tomatoes, dry them and cut them into cubes. For this salad, choose tomatoes that are fleshy and not very watery. If there is too much liquid in tomatoes, it is better to cut out the middle with seeds from them and only then cut the pulp into cubes.
Step 5:
Cut the cheese into small strips. You can grate the cheese on a grater if desired. I prefer cutting into strips to achieve some uniformity, because we also cut tomatoes and crackers into cubes. Take cheese first of all delicious, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes.
Step 6:
Wash, dry and finely chop the greens.
Step 7:
In a salad bowl, combine tomatoes, canned red beans, cheese, crackers and greens. Season the salad with mayonnaise. If desired, you can add salt and pepper, but personally I very rarely add spices to salads with mayonnaise.
Step 8:
Mix everything thoroughly and serve immediately. Enjoy your meal! If you do not plan to serve the salad immediately or in the next 10-15 minutes, then it is better not to add crackers and mayonnaise. The crackers will quickly get wet and lose their crispness. This will happen especially quickly with wheat crackers.

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

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.

Choose juicy tomatoes, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.
