Opa Artur was a truly happy man who cared for only 2 things, family and food. Accompanied by his warm smile and unique laugh, bean salad was always a staple at family dinners. I can’t say this version tastes exactly like his, but it is a flavorful, quick, fiber packed option for part of a lunch or a side to a meal.
Note: the proportions of ingredients in the dressing are flexible based on taste preferences. Alter these amounts as you wish, taste the dressing before use, and trust that your tongue will tell you what you need!
