Flashback Friday: Three Bean Salad
Earlier this summer, I kept hearing all of these people saying that even though it was still so hot, monsoon season would be coming to Phoenix in July. I kind of got excited. Rain! I expected to start seeing all of these great thunderstorms.
It was all lies. Filthy lies, I tell you! I’ve seen one mediocre storm this summer. The Florida girl in me is extremely disappointed. It’s still 111 degrees and no rain. Or maybe there have been storms, but there is just a bubble that surrounds me and so I just never see it. How cruel!
I am counting down the days until it starts to cool down which is basically October. So, I really want it to be October. Not only because of the weather, but also, you know my husband and I are obsessed with Halloween decorations. So, October, hurry up!
For now, I will continue to eat summery dishes like this three bean salad. It’s a great alternative to heavier pasta and potato salads. Plus, it’s stupid easy to make. You can have it all prepped in just 15 minutes!
