What's for lunch - Butter Bean Salad

We had a little bit of a late start to this week after a long weekend. I spent the weekend down in Portland at a Nosework trial with my little girl Mischa. Mr. Ramon was single dad for the weekend with the other two pups and a visiting pup as well. 

Needed to pull something together quick that would pass the taste test of Mr. Ramon. Another mediterranian inspired salad is what I went for. What makes this one so good is the fresh oregano and a hint of cumin. I think it tastes better the next day. After all the flavors have melded together.

Butter Bean Salad

This makes 4 large servings

  • 1 13oz can butter beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 chopped red onion
  • 1 1/2 cup english cucumber chopped 
  • 4 roma tomatoes chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano chopped
  • 1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley chopped
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste

Mix first 6 ingredients into a bowl. In a second small bowl whisk the olive oil, lime juice and seasonings. Pour over the salad and mix. 

I sent this to work with Mr. Ramon the next day. Added a little bit of feta on top and sent him with toasted pita chips on the side. Enjoy!
