Here is how you make Middle Eastern Bean Salad with Parsley and Lemon (Balela):

One at a time, empty canned beans into a colander placed in the sink, rinse well with cold water until no more foam appears, then let beans drain well. (I sometimes blot them dry with a paper towel if they still seem wet.) Put well-drained beans into a plastic bowl.While beans drain, chop green onions, tomatoes, and parsley and add to bowl. Whisk together dressing ingredients. Gently mix dressing into bean mixture, stirring just enough to combine and coat the ingredients with dressing. Let salad sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving, then season with more salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.Serving Size: Makes 4 1-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SUZMASSON.
