Cool Honey & Lemon Bean Salad

...a sure(no)fire hit on hot summer days! 

1 can chick peas, drained and rinsed

1 can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 green pepper, diced

1 vidalia onion diced

½ English cucumber, de-seeded and diced

1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

¼ cup olive oil

1 lemon, juiced and zested

1 tbsp honey

Salt and Pepper to taste

 

In a medium sized bowl combine the chick peas, kidney beans, pepper, onion, cucumber and fresh herbs and toss to combine everything.

In a small bowl pour in the lemon juice, lemon zest and honey and stir. Continuously stirring the lemon juice mix, slowly pour in all the olive oil until completely combined.

Taste and season the dressing with salt and pepper.

Pour the dressing over the bean salad and toss to coat.

 

Try adding precooked chopped chicken or chopped ham steak to the salad and serving over mesclun greens and chopped romaine lettuce.

Maybe even some lightly grilled French loaf or ciabatta bread.

 

Enjoy and experiment!
