I like mine w/tomato, red onion, orange bell pepper, cilantro, corn, lime juice, salt & pepper. Eat on greens w/ avocado & some crushed tortilla chips.

Chickpeas are good in a more Mediterranean salad - tomato, cucumber, olive, feta. Red onion & bell pepper for color & because I like them in everything. Fresh oregano. Lemon juice, salt, pepper.

White beans are some of my favorite. You can make a bean dip, add to soup with kale, or mix with good quality canned tuna to make a salad.

I do this kind of black bean salad too. So good. I like it with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Make sure to put cucumber. It gives it a fresh flavor. Sprinkle garlic powder, cayenne, chili powder too.

Beanburgers?
Roasted, spiced chickpeas.
Chana masala.
Instant pot black bean soup.
Veggie nachos.

Whatever you do, don't believe people when they say you can make brownies with black beans, and that you can't taste the beans. Yes, you can taste them. And the brownies taste awful.

Great northern beans: roasted garlic, spinach, and white bean chili. I think the recipe is in $10 Dinners.

Great northern - make bbq beans with bacon in a casserole dish (add brown sugar, bacon, mustard, tomato paste, onions, and bake)

Chickpeas - make Mediterranean salad with cucumber, tomato, red onion, and vinaigrette dressing. Add feta and kalamata olives if you’d like. Can add herbs like mint, basil.

Black beans - make black bean and corn salad, throw in what you’d like - maybe cherry tomatoes, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, some oil, maybe add some avocado.

Similar to how the last poster described great northern beans, but this is my family's favorite version:
