St. Louie Suzie's Note:

This is an appetizer on the menu of a restaurant here in St. Louis called Aya Sofia. It's a cold bean salad, a traditional mediterranean dish. I loved it so much that I re-created it at home. The measurements are approximate, so adjust to your own taste. Time includes refrigeration.
