cinzia 5 Warm Salad with Green Flageolet Beans and Peppers

november 24, 2011 | I would make this recipe again

@RichVick: FYI here's the dictionary definition of Salad. "Salad is any of a wide variety of dishes, including vegetable salads; salads of pasta, legumes, eggs, or grains; mixed salads incorporating meat, poultry, or seafood; and fruit salads". As you can see, it applies to this recipe as well ;=)
