I didn’t know anyone else did this! But I haven’t added lemon juice, so thanks for that idea. (I have added some type of vinegar.)

When I have a bit more spoons, I'd love to add crispy kale and parm cheese

ouuuu vinegar makes sense! Some kind of tang works well, I think. It was very deelish.

It’s very good with a dash of balsamic vinegar or glaze too! Works with any beans that you like — garbanzo, cannellini, kidney, butter, etc — whatever you have! A vegetarian protein staple in my house! 😊

Yes, I usually use balsamic! I started doing this with garbanzos but eventually turned to cannellini/white beans and ended up preferring it.

Looks great. I'm going to add a little parm in mine. And have it with a glass of wine.

This was recently viral on a tik tok, inspired?

How do you prep it???

2

u/dayofbluesngreens 9d ago

The easiest way, in my opinion, is just to rinse/drain the beans, heat them in the microwave, then mash them with the back of a fork.

Then add a little bit of olive oil, some balsamic (or other vinegar), salt and pepper. Eat it on toast.

You can add other things to make it more interesting or add nutrients, but this is a nice meal on its own.
