Slow Cooker White Bean Chili, chopped salad with green goddess dressing, a cucumber seed stick, and cornbread 💚
Chopped salad! Is it so wrong to want to eat my salads with a spoon? In the words of Kevin McCallister: I don't think so. I had a few minutes so I chopped it by hand. I even chopped the sprouts.. never did that before 😆 it was basic in taste and delightful in texture 😋 coming from the world of hyperpalatable foods, enjoying or even being okay with basic tastes is kind of a big deal.
I made another pot of this white bean chili yesterday. I couldn't remember if I had used 2 tsp or 3 tsp of my homemade low salt vegan chicken-style bouillon powder, so I was able to taste my previous batch from two days ago versus yesterday's to figure that out (spoiler alert, it was 3 tsp!).
I know I get unreasonably excited about my newfound appreciation for simpler foods, but I'm SO HAPPY with this chili. I was really tempted to add more seasonings and green chiles and this/that/the other, but I resisted, and I'm glad that I did. Add in a couple more seasonings and then it's less opportunity to taste the beans. Add in green chiles and it masks the onion and corn. More is not always better!
I'll get the recipe digitized and cleaned up. I'm actually making a third batch today because I want to try it with another white bean since these @rancho_gordo beans aren't always available.
