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!
