I love the freshness of this salad. It is also super light and easy to make.
I used fresh beans which I soaked over night and then boiled in salty water with a bay leaf, for about 45 minutes. You can use canned beans if you wish.
I basically cleaned out my fridge with the rest of the ingredients in this dish. Nothing goes to waste in this house.
Here’s the recipe. Enjoy!

1. Soak the beans overnight. Then cook in salty water with a bay leaf until tender. Let cool. You can use canned beans also.
2. Chop the onion, cucumber, tomatoes and garlic clove.
