NORTH CROATIAN SIMPLE BEANS SALAD
It is very simple recipe. You may keep the salad up to 3 days in hermetically closed pot in refrigerator (The second day is the best). You can use almost all kinds of beans, even Italian brown lentils. I did not include soaking time in this recipe. We use pumpkin oil for this recipe, but since it has strong and peculiar taste it may be strange for non-Croatians. You may use normal oil, but not olive oil.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
- If you don't have white wine vinegar, you can use another type of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar. Just be sure to adjust the amount of vinegar you use, as some types of vinegar are more acidic than others.
- You can add other vegetables to the salad, such as carrots, celery, or radishes. Just be sure to thinly slice them as well.
- If you want a more flavorful salad, you can add some herbs, such as dill, parsley, or chives. Just be sure to chop them finely.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
