Black Eyed or White Bean Salad

My mom has made this salad (using black eye beans) for many years and I'm always happy to see it at barbecues and picnics. It goes well as a side with burgers, ribs or chicken. Mix it like a potato salad . . . using small white beans with or without a black eye. (The black eye beans turn light brown when cooked)  

Ingredients: 

• 1 1/2 cups black eye or white beans
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
• 1 small shallot sliced fine or green onion
• 1 Tbsp fresh finely cut dill or 1/2 tsp dried

dressing:

• 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 Tbsp sour cream
• 2 Tbsp vinegar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• pepper to taste

Method:

1. Rinse beans and cover with about 6 cups water and salt. Bring to boil an simmer for about 60 - 75 minutes, until done.( Add more water if needed.)
2. When done, drain and rinse with cold water.
3. Mix with eggs, shallot and combined dressing ingredients. Garnish with dill or pea shoots. Serves 6-8 as a side.
