Mediterranean-style bean salad
A quick no-cook dish, which can be eaten on it's own,
or goes nicely with steamed white fish e.g. cod.
Ingredients
Serves Four
290g jar artichoke heart in oil
1 tbsp. sundried tomato paste
1 tsp white wine vinegar
410g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
300g small vine tomato, quartered (about 12 in total)
handful Kalamata black olives
2 spring onions (scallions), thinly sliced on the diagonal
200g log soft goat's cheese, crumbled
A can of tuna could be used instead of goats cheese, just flake it into the salad.
You could use Feta cheese if preferred

Happy month of May to you!
I will come back and see the answers.
The salad looks delicious.
Take care, enjoy your day and the new week ahead.
I don't know many of these at all. I can't wait to read what the answers actually are.
I want to make that salad. Thank you for sharing.
Interesting questions! And the recipe looks great!
I'm not a cheese person so I like the idea of using tuna instead.
I think I have six of them correct, but I may only know five. I'll learn for sure tomorrow. As for the last one, now I know where that came from. We did this as children here in the states, too.
Your salad looks good, but I'd substitute goat chees with feta. Happy May, dear Jan.
I am going to write my answers down and see just how close I am. Not looking anything up either....see you tomorrow.
Me gustó esta entrada. Y la ensalada
Buen domingo y Mayo para Todos.
Un abrazo.
Think I got most correct! I'll be back tomorrow.
