INSTRUCTIONS
Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to marry.
NOTE: Any combination of fresh herbs works well with this recipe.
I suggest sprinkling a little salt over the celery, tomato and onions and putting them in a colander to drain off some of the excess moisture. After 10-15 minutes with the salt, place the celery and onions in a towel and squeeze dry. This will keep the salad from getting wet. The bean salad recipe is ready....enjoy the salad ! Great taste !
