I was reading through Bon Apetit the other week and came across this delicious looking Three Bean Salad. It was one of those recipes where you can mix and match and create your own combination of ingredients to fit your personal taste. This is when curiosity, flavor pairing, and a little imagination come in handy. The lemon infused red onion and fresh dill make this dish a prefect summer side to any meal. I’m not kidding, once you taste this you’re going to be matching batches to eat weekly. This could be the new “cowboy caviar” in our household. I went for green beans, butter beans, and black eyed peas… what will you try?
