How to make Red and White Bean Salad:
To start making our white and red bean salad recipe, our first step is to pre-list all the ingredients for its preparation. The important thing to make this recipe is that we must bear in mind that if we are working with grains it is important that they are soaked from the night before, once soaked remove that water and take them to the pressure cooker adding new drinking water, salt, laurel and thyme to flavor the preparation.
