Summer Bean Salad with Fresh Herbs

 Sometimes it’s nice to change up the salad routine with a little more protein and a bean salad is just the right answer.  This one is fresh, tasty, nutritious, quick and easy – all my favourite ingredients!

I decided I was going to use lots of fresh herbs but sometimes it’s a challenge to decide which ones are going to work well with your main component.  So what else can you do but wing it and hope for the best?  I would encourage you to experiment as well but I did find that the dill really added a nice touch.  For the best results, refrigerate for a couple hours.

Just a side note, I was so concerned with the herbs and photography for this dish, I forgot to put enough tomatoes in there, so definitely add more than I did. Ha! – still tasted great though.  If you want it a little more spicy, you could add a chipotle pepper in there for something a little different.

As an aside, thank you for all your lovely comments and emails.  I`ve received so many supportive emails about my photography (learning, learning and more learning to go!) and recipes and I truly do appreciate it.  Sometimes when you`re blogging you feel like you`re operating in the dark and hoping that people will like what you produce so it`s great to get such positive feedback!  Have a great week, everyone.  Cheers.
