Camille’s Cooking: A flavorful twist on traditional bean salad
BY CAMILLE ORRICHIO LOCCISANO
Summertime means salad time! For our salads, I shun any “rules” out there in the culinary world. My advice is to enjoy your salads as you please. Toss your favorite ingredients in a bowl, and add a lively dressing of your choice.
Also, salads should not always be defined by using a leafy lettuce for the main ingredient. There are many other kinds of salads, and my late father, who spent a career as a fitness guru and a professional massage therapist, would always make his own version of a healthy three-bean salad. Eventually, we would affectionately call it “Grandpa’s Bean Salad.”
