Babi's Bean Salad Recipe

Place the beans in a saucepan with enough water to cover them by one inch. Bring beans to a slow boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until tender but not mushy (about 35 minutes). Set aside to cool.

When the beans have cooled place them in a large bowl. Add the celery carrots parsley white onion and mint; toss to blend.

For dressing blend olive oil orange and lemon juice garlic coriander salt pepper and brown sugar in a blender for 6 seconds. Transfer to a small saucepan and simmer over low heat for five minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Pour dressing over the bean salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
