Salad with beans and cucumbers

30 min4 serv.20 февр. 2026 г.

Description

The salad is quick and easy to prepare. It's even simpler and faster if you've cooked the beans in advance. The cucumber adds freshness, the beans provide heartiness, and the red onion gives a slight spiciness. The flavor is completed with a dressing of vegetable oil, lemon juice, and spices. I kept it simple with just salt and pepper, but you can add dry seasonings to taste. This salad can also be served as a side dish. The salad is ready to serve.
