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.

Absolutely delicious!
Shared this with my daughter for dinner last night and again for lunch today. Nuking the beans is essential. 1 Serrano chili was perfect for us. Last night, we put croutons in the bottom of the bowl and the bean salad on top. Yum! Today, we enjoyed it with toasted homemade focaccia— again, yum! We added chopped egg, fresh mint, and used used only green pimento-stuffed olives which we sliced. This recipe will be made frequently, especially this summer.
