Books & Spoons Recipe: COLORFUL BEAN SALAD

Sometimes it can be just as easy and quick as a bean salad! It's a great side dish with your grilled goods, and as it is, a lunch that will fill you up! There are as many ways to make a salad as there are cooks in the kitchen, everyone has their own ways and tweaks, I don't think I have made a salad twice the exact same way, but this is what came from my kitchen today. And I have to say, the softness of the beans, the crunch of the peppers, the sharpness of the onions, the depth of balsamic vinegar and Parmesan together, are just  lovely!
I hope you enjoy it!

BEAN SALAD

2 cups of assorted beans
1 Bell pepper, cut in small pieces
1 small red onion, cut in small pieces
1/2 cup of cut spring onions
Salt + pepper
Shaved Parmesan
Balsamic vinegar

I used organic beans, where half the amount was black beans.
Remember to rinse the beans well in a cold water before using them in a salad.
The Bell pepper can be replaced with sun-dried tomatoes and add some basil.
