Dried bean salad
4 tablespoons Sitia Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 cup dried beans 1 medium onion cut into slices 2 green peppers cut into slices 3 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped 3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley 1 tablespoon finely chopped basil (optional) 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice 10 black olives 2 boiled eggsBoil the beans in water until they are soft but not overcooked and then drain. (they can be soaked in water for a few hours prior to cooking.) In a salad bowl, mix beans with onion, peppers, tomatoes and parsley. Whisk olive oil with salt and vinegar or lemon juice and pour over the salad. Garnish with olives and slices of boiled eggs.
The salad is quite delicious by just adding finely chopped onion and dill and a dressing with olive oil and lemon juice.
