  2. Salads: Beans can be used as a protein source in salads, such as a bean salad or a three-bean salad.

  3. Side dishes: Beans can be served as a side dish, either on their own or mixed with other ingredients. For example, black beans can be served as a side dish for Mexican food, or baked beans can be served as a side dish for barbecue.

  4. Veggie burgers: Beans can be mashed and formed into patties to make vegetarian burgers.

  5. Snacks: Roasted chickpeas and other beans can make a nutritious and crunchy snack.

Some common types of beans include black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, navy beans, lima beans, and chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans).
