Description
This green olive bean salad is a combo of not one but two type of beans, loads of castelvetrano olives, parsley, cilantro, aromatics, and a sweet honey dijon vinaigrette. Plus, the beauty of this chickpea salad is that it tastes better the longer it sits. It’s safe to say that this green olive bean salad is living rent-free in my fridge!
