Garlic rye bread and bean salad

It’s becoming to look like Christmas and I decided to share a recipe for a salad that is traditional to have for Christmas Eve. It is that simple and tasty that my brother used to voluntarily go on salad making duty because of that. Hope you like it as much as we do!  GARLIC RYE BREAD AND BEAN SALAD

Makes one medium serving bowl (I made half portion here)

• 1 medium rye bread loaf
• 6 cloves of garlic, crushed and chopped
• generous amount of oil for frying
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 onions, finelly chopped
• 2tsp caraway seeds, soaked in water
• 2 cans of butter beans or cannellini beans, rinsed under cold water
• bunch of parsley, finelly chopped (optional)

1. Slice the bread and then chop the slices into 1cm cubes.2.Fry the bread together with garlic in generous amount of oil (very necessary, sorry for dieters). Season to taste and put it aside.3. Fry the onion together with caraway seeds until onions are nice and slightly transparent. Add the beans and take the pan off the heat.  4. Mix everything together. Hope you don’t miss this humble salad at your Christmas table ;-).
