• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil (I omit)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup diced Roma tomatoes

Preparation

Step 1

Combine first 9 ingredients in large bowl; toss gently,. Combine lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl; stir well. Pour mixture over beans; toss well. Cover and chill

I add 1 can pickled beets, cut up and slices olives. Serve tossed with lettuce leaves and a little creamy salad dressing.

If you don't rinse off the beans you don't need the olive oil
