How could this best be lightened further as a side or started salad to a dinner? Fewer beans or no beans?
This salad is wonderful. Very easy to put together and the taste is delicious.
This salad is really lovely. I did use the oil cured black olives and they were delicious, but then I love the bitterness of those. Grew up with my Grandfather making those with garlic & Calabrian chilies!
