Legumes and spices--recipies?

FrankWorsley

Ok, I'm trying to get more legumes into my diet. I just have little cooking talent and am pretty confused by which spices are good with various combinations of beans. I'm looking for a cold mixed bean salad (not looking for one with a strong vinegar flavor or one with green beans or wax beans...more of the kidney beans/black beans/black eyed peas type). Anyone have some good ideas or recipes?
