combine the following in a bowl, mix well, then refrigerate until 5-10 minutes before serving:

• 2 cups cut organic green beans  (cut in 4's and quickly boiled in salted water for 5-7 minutes, then rinsed in cold water to retain color)
• 1 cup cooked white beans (i used canned, but presoaked and home cooked is much better (for you)-here's some incentive to cook your own)
• 1 cup cooked black eyed peas (same as above-you can substitute black beans as well)
• 1 large ripe (or two roma) tomatoes, finely diced
• 1 small bunch finely chopped organic cilantro
• 1/2 red hot chili pepper de-seeded, and finely minced (optional for spicy)
• 2-3 finely sliced green onions (optional)
• sea salt & cracked pepper to taste
• 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tsp home made lemony pesto (if available) see PESTO recipe
• freshly squeezed juice of 1.5 to 2 limes
