Mediterranean Bean Salad

Mama was in the mood to try something new. Something light, fresh, and perfect for summer. She pulled out five kinds of beans, some cherry tomatoes, fresh basil from the garden, and said, “Let’s make a beautiful salad.” And that’s exactly what she did 🥰

This Mediterranean Bean Salad was bursting with flavor and color. And it ended up stealing the show at our Fourth of July get together. It was bright, zesty, and so satisfying… the kind of dish that makes you feel good with every bite. Everyone kept raving about it, and Mama couldn’t stop smiling 😊

To top it all off, we served it with a chilled glass of @gratsiwine rosè and the combo was chef’s kiss 😚🤌🏻Simple, summery, and so delicious
