Tasty Romano Bean Salad Side Dish
Since we are limiting our visits to the grocery stores these days, one staple ingredient in our pantry is dried beans. We have been making plenty of nutritious bean-based food dishes and this romano bean salad is one of our favourites.
Not only are they tasty, but we’re finding them to be handy as well in teaching number lessions like multiplication and addition to the kids while we’re home! Desperate times calls for desperate measures:)
If you’re using a package of dried beans, then refer to our post for how to cook dried beans before starting. Alternatively, you can use canned beans for this recipe but just remember to drain some of the liquid (do not rinse) from the beans beforehand.
