White Bean Beads & Red Pepper Salad

Written by Published on Updated on July 4, 2019 in Salads, Side Dish

Summer is here!!! We reached the first week of July, can you believe it!!  I think the first part of the year went by extremely fast.  As I was saying the month of July has arrived, and it is BBQ time, and definitely Salad Time!!!  These delicious little beans translated into English are called  Beads. 🙂  Beads nice!!  I believe that by adding a Summer Salad or this delicious Salad, is always a great side dish to our table.  

These little gems are also a great winter soup.  A simple, and quick soup to make for those cold winter evenings.  I know, I know its hot outside but I am just giving you an idea for the Winter season, if you should want to try it out. 🙂  By adding a few more ingredients let’s say fresh tomatoes, carrots, celery and a few potatoes.   

 

HAPPY 4TH OF JULYYYY!!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
