Cranberry Beans, Cherry Tomatoes & Cucumber Salad

• 2 cups borlotti beans fresh
• 1 handful cherry tomatoes halved
• 1 red onion medium, sliced thinly
• 1 cucumber peeled & sliced
• fresh herbs
• oregano
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 9 tablespoons olive extra virgin
• pepper salt
• vegetable scraps

1. In a pot with plenty of water, bring the beans to a boil with vegetable scraps: the bits from the fridge such as celery tops, the bendable carrot destined for the garbage, half an onion sitting in your fridge that doesn't look so great - toss it in! (The veggies give the beans a bit more flavor.)
2. Bring to boil then lower to simmer 20-30 minutes until the beans are tender.
3. Drain & discard the vegetables.
4. In a bowl combine the beans, tomatoes, onion, cucumber. Add in the herbs.
5. Combine the oil & vinegar then toss with the salad.
6. Season with salt & pepper.
7. Let stand 10-15 minutes to let the flavors come together. Recheck your seasonings (taste it) and adjust.
8. Serve.
