Ingredients

  • 8 ounces dried cranberry beans

  • 3 cups water

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 small cucumber, seeded and chopped

  • ¼ cup chopped red onion

  • 12 grape tomatoes, halved

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Sort and rinse cranberry beans. Place in a pot with water over medium-high heat; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans are tender, about 1 hour. Make sure beans are covered with water during the entire cooking process. Drain and set aside.
