A delicious salad with beans can be a great addition to lunch or dinner, or it can take its place on the festive table. A huge advantage of the bean salad is the ability to cook it very quickly. A kind of magic salad that is prepared in 15 minutes, when guests are already on the doorstep, or even relax on the sofa.
