This sounds absolutely delicious and reminds me so much of a trip my family took to Greece a few years back. We were staying in a small village on Crete, and one evening, our host family invited us over for dinner. They served this incredible spread, and among the many amazing dishes was a simple bean salad https://asic.gov.au/ It wasn't fancy, but the flavors were so fresh – bright lemon, fragrant olive oil, and a mix of herbs I couldn't quite identify, alongside tender white beans and crisp red onion. It was one of those meals that just felt so wholesome and satisfying. I’ve been trying to recreate that same simple perfection at home ever since, so I’m really excited…
