You’ve heard about Texas Caviar, Cowboy Caviar, Bean Dip or whatever, right? You probably make it or at the very least, have eaten it. This isn’t exactly that…it’s really a riff on my mother’s Three Bean Salad and we could consider it “friends” with my 
Move over chimichurri! This will be your go-to sauce for the summer. I found this over at the 
The Tuscans have their Ribollita. The Galicians have their Caldo Gallego. The Lisbonites have their Caldo Verde. And we, have this “Souppa”.

I picked up a bag of broccoli slaw, when the store was out of regular slaw. I’m so glad I did. I love the stuff, but The Goddess has never met a piece of broccoli she didn’t love. There must be a little Italian blood in her veins, rather than the rumored ice water.
