Parsley| 1 cup chopped
Green bell pepper| 1 chopped
Tomato| 2 medium
Dressing
Lemon or vinegar| freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
Garlic| 1 tbsp. mince garlic (3 cloves)
Sea salt| 2 tsp
Olive oil| 1/4 cup or more, to taste

Salt and black pepper
Few black olives, to garnish
Paprika or sumac powder to sprinkle on eggs (optional)

3. Add the onions to the beans.

Healthytude Tip: To increase your intake of greens and reap the benefits, serve over a bed of greens – lettuce, arugula, and whatever else you have at home.
