Best North Croatian Simple Beans Salad Recipes
NORTH CROATIAN SIMPLE BEANS SALAD
It is very simple recipe. You may keep the salad up to 3 days in hermetically closed pot in refrigerator (The second day is the best). You can use almost all kinds of beans, even Italian brown lentils. I did not include soaking time in this recipe. We use pumpkin oil for this recipe, but since it has strong and peculiar taste it may be strange for non-Croatians. You may use normal oil, but not olive oil.

NORTH CROATIAN BEANS SOUP
This is very old recipe my grandmother used to make. If you cook beans and have some surpluses you may use it for this soup. The soup must be little bit sour, and DO NOT use "acetto balsamico", but normal red or white wine vinegar. The best is to use white beans or beans we call in Croatia "tresnjevec". I did not include beans soaking time in this recipe.

CROATIAN SIMPLE FRENCH BEANS SALAD
This is very simple salad where you use cooked French beans. You can use flat or round bean or green or yellow one, the procedure is the same. I do not use olive oil and only vinegar (not acceto balsamico). I also use honey vinegar (I have a friend who is in bee-honey business and he produces that honey vinegar. It is extremely healthy and excellent taste; you can drink it with water alone.)
