Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 can white kidney beans -- (500 grams)
Turkish Lemon Dressing -- See recipe below
2 green onions -- thinly sliced, or 1/2 onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley -- chopped
1 tomato -- coarsley chopped

Heat the beans in their liquid, then rinse and drain. If you are serving a large group of people you may prefer to prepare the dried beans. But for a salad to serve four persons, a can is quick and convenient.
Prepare the salad dressing and gently stir it into the warm beans. Toss in the remaining ingredients. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Variations: The parsley is very frequently omitted. At times the tomatoes and onions are cut into wedges, and arranged on top of the beans. Hard boiled eggs and olives make an attractive garnish. Add 1/2 cup of mixed green and red pepper, chopped.

Serves 4, as a starter

Of Turkish origin, this dish is popular throughout the Middle East.

Turkish Lemon Dressing - Titbeelet Leimoon
1 clove garlic, crushed with
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 to 2/3 cup olive oil (to taste)

Combine all ingredients, blending thoroughly.
Variation: Add 1 teaspoon ground sumac.
I usually prefer vinegar to lemon juice in salads featuring uncooked vegetables. As a general rule, lemon juice is more popular in other salads, but this is a matter of personal preference.
