Legume Salad

While it is true that in summer a traditional stew or a legume dish may not be very appealing, beans are an ideal food for making a wide variety of salads and cold dishes that provide freshness on hot days, like this legume salad. Legumes are a very interesting and nutritious food, providing a good amount of protein and complex carbohydrates, as well as fiber, minerals, and vitamins. The simplicity of these recipes makes them suitable as a first course with minimal preparation, perfect for a day when we have little time to cook, as well as for taking in a container to work or school.
