Mixed Bean Salad

The Mixed Bean Salad is perfect for everyday and large gatherings espeically summer barbecues. It is a great option when the weather is too hot for lettuce.

It is healthier to cook the beans at home (after soaking them overnight), however,  canned beans make a good alternative on busy days.

For best results, refrigerate the salad for a few hours or overnight after adding the dressing allowing the flavors to combine.


Ingredients

  • 300 gram green beans (fresh) - فاصوليا خضراء
  • 1 can white beans (400 gram cannellini beans) - فاصوليا بيضاء
  • 1 can red kidney beans (400 gram) - فاصوليا حمراء
  • 1 medium red onion - بصلة حمراء
  • 3 tablespoon coriander (chopped) - كزبرة
