Chef Tips:

Feel free to add cooked peas or use your favorite beans for this salad in place of mixed beans.
The combination of the three fresh herbs is what makes this dish sing – so be very generous with the amounts. Once finely chopped, each should fill a tablespoon so that you will be adding three tablespoons of chopped herbs to the mixture.
