Turkish White Bean Salad
Fasülye piyazi, a simple white bean salad with tomatoes, herbs, olives and eggs, is a classic in Turkey. To infuse the beans with flavor, we toss them with salt and optional dried mint, then heat them in the microwave before combining them while hot with onion, vinegar and pepper. As the beans cool, they absorb the seasonings. Chopped hard-cooked eggs often accompany this salad, so feel free to add some as a garnish. If you have Aleppo pepper in your pantry, a sprinkling will lend mild, smoky heat to the finished salad.
