Cypriot Barbunya Salata - Red Bean Salad
"Growing up with parents that know how to cultivate food from land, with village-roots and a connection to soil, it’s easy to see other people’s mezzes as our main dishes.
Barbunya salata - or red bean salad, is an easy, nutritious, traditionally-rooted meal, inspired by my Cypriot roots. The salad itself is creamy with tribute to quality beans, fresh, and of course juicy! Because the salad juice is essential for dipping crusty bread to mop up those juices" - Adyan

Directions
Add all the salad ingredients into a bowl except the onion.
In a separate bowl, generously salt your onion and rub firmly and aggressively until you rub the “bitterness” out. Leave to rest for about 5 minutes before rinsing very well in a sieve under cold water and add to the rest to the ingredients. The onion will still taste a bit salty but the bitterness will be nearly completely gone.
Combine the dressing ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the dressing. Enjoy with some crunchy bread! Don’t forget to mop of all of those juices.
