Summer is soon approaching and it's hard to prepare meals that take long time in the kitchen and also need less oily foods. One of our themes for BM# 73 is one pot meals for summer and it's perfect timing.
So, I made this bean salad for dinner, my daughter is not a big fan of beans but she loved this cool salad and said it's a keeper. Mission accomplished.....
This is a no cook salad but you can soak and cook your beans. (Let them cool off completely before making the salad if you cook the beans)

Extra virgin olive oil : 2 tablespoons
Fresh ground pepper: 1 teaspoon
Salt : 1/2 teaspoon
