Directions

1

Soak the beans overnight in water to cover.

2

In the morning, drain the beans, rinse them under cold running water, and place them in a saucepan with fresh water to cover.

3

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer several hours until the beans are soft and the skins begin to split.

4

Add water when necessary to keep the beans from drying, and stir occasionally to prevent them from burning and sticking.

5

Remove from the heat, drain, and allow to cool.

6

In a bowl, toss together the greens, beans and rice.

7

Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.

8

In a blender, combine the oil, vinegar, chives, garlic, pepper, and salt.

9

Blend at high speed until the chives and garlic are finely pureed.
