Kidney Bean Salad

 

New recipe tried - Kidney bean salad with Lemon (recipe is free online at A Virtual Vegan).  I did make slight changes to the recipe.

What I did. . .

Instead of cane sugar, I used a Tbsp. of lemon infused honey.

I used a full organic English cucumber.

I used both fresh parsley and cilantro (had some that needed used up, as it's not garden season and I have to buy it).

I used red onion.

I chilled the salad for a few hours before serving.

We added crumbled feta to the salad when I served it.  Yum!


Rain is here again.  It's due to come down off and on later and even tomorrow morning.  Our evenings will start dipping into the 30's (hopefully no hard freeze). Thankfully, my three cilantro plants, that came up by themselves, from last year's seeds, are still thriving in the herb garden.

That looks delicious. I know Dennis would love it. My stomach wouldn't tolerate it though.
We might have some rain but probably not. It is supposed to get down to freezing this weekend. Just when the lilacs are beginning to bloom under our bedroom window.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy

Betsy, we woke up to 37 degrees. I'm worried about apple blossoms, my cilantro already coming up, our asparagus, and yes, our lilacs too. Crazy weather for sure. Blessings and hugs.
