Bean Salad

What is it?

Kidney beans, green beans and butter beans come together with diced onion in a tangy vinaigrette, served cold in a small tub as a KFC side. Beans stay distinct, so you get firm, crisp and soft textures in the same spoonful. It's a cold side dish rather than a salad on leaves, and it sits apart from the rest of KFC Australia's usual fried sides and potato-based options. Vinaigrette keeps things sharp and acidic, which works as a palate cleanser next to fried chicken and gravy. It's one of the few items on the menu that doesn't involve a fryer, and the beans hold up well sitting in the dressing without turning mushy.
