Dried Bean Salad

4 servings

Ingredients

• white beans (pearl beans) (as needed)
• salted water (as needed)
• vinegar (a little)
• oil (a little)
• salt (a little)
• pepper (a little)
• sugar (to taste)

Instructions

1. Cook white beans, preferably pearl beans, in salted water until tender, as you would for a vegetable.
2. It's best to cook them in a haybox, as they must not become mushy.
3. After draining, dress with vinegar, oil, salt, pepper, and a little sugar to taste.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
