I like my bean salad without sugar personally, but I would start with a smaller amount than called for and use a blend of sweeteners, if possible, to avoid the possibility of strong aftertastes.

Make the recipe without sugar then add your sweetener of choice a little at a time till you like it.


AdChemical1663

From a different perspective…swap the green pepper for red or yellow, and the red onion for shallots. Both vegetables are a bit sweeter and you may get away with skipping the sweetener all together.

For sure! I use allulose because while it doesn't bake well, it goes perfectly in saucy things like this.


BlueRipley

I would just leave it out.


poretabletti

Why on earth does that recipe have sugar even in the first place? After reading that I'd just plain leave it out.

It’s pretty normal in many cultures to add a small amount of sugar to savoury dishes to balance out flavour profiles. This is quite a big stew so 1/4 cup is in the ballpark for that volume.


WhoIs_DankeyKang

Yeah, the sweetness helps balance out the acidity.


hankscorpiox

Absolutely doesn’t need sugar or any sweetener.


TheBigHairyThing

well i use it in coleslaw because im lazy and just want to get a ton of cabbage down but a few drops of this industrial grade liquid splenda i bought off amazon and it works great, in fact i have used it in everything i can think of and it worked really well. Even tomato sauce etc. It's super concentrated for 50 bucks i got a quart of it i think? I used to have to give a good spray of the liquid splenda i got at walmart this stuff is 2-3 drops and you gotta becareful


Reasonable-Quarter-1

Yes! I used a teaspoon of liquid stevia in a recipe like this recently. I would just be careful with how much you use because they are stronger then sugar


fluxxy

I use a smidge of monk fruit powder in savory things that need to be balanced out with a bit of sweetness.


Yenyenjenjen

I used to love a packet of sweetener to my salad dressings. Now I just use honey.


Shooppow

That bean salad and yes, I have
