I still remember the shock I got when I first time tasted beans salad at a cafe in Japan.
There is this fashionable cafe called "Afternoon Tea" opened up while I was in high-school,
and it was quite a event to go there to have lunch with saved up allowance.
"Afternoon tea" also has shops which are selling their bread, dinner wares, and home/bath apparel.
It's still quite popular in Japan.
Anyways, let's go back to the talk about bean salad.
Their lunch plate comes with bread salad bowl which is something like garlic bread cubes, lettuce, rosemary and Parmesan cheese tossed together. Bread salad was also new to Japan at that time.
Bean salad came as a side dish in a tiny bowl which looks very colorful with different kind of beans.
I think there are more kinds of canned beans, and it's easy to make bean salad with multiple kind of beans.
I use Japanese bean, Edamame, this time with red pepper and goat feta cheese.
It's very refreshing !
