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 Gratsi Rosè and the combo was chef’s kiss! Simple, summery, and so delicious.
