Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the beans to a medium-sized cooking pot half-filled with water and bring to a boil.
  2. Cook for 2 minutes then drain the beans in a strainer. This is done to remove dirt and pesticides from the beans. Add beans back to the cooking pot with some fresh water and bring them back to a boil again. Cook the beans until tender, but don't let them get too mushy. This usually takes about 2 hours over medium heat. But this will depend on the batch of the beans. Drain in a strainer and let them cool down to room temperature.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic clove, mustard seeds, red wine vinegar, lemon juice and zest, and olive oil, along with a bit of salt and pepper.
  4. Add the beans to the bowl as well, along with the red onion, spring onions, parsley, and dill. Stir well to combine. Then ideally, let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. The longer it sits, the better it gets. Serve topped with Kalamata olives. Enjoy!
