Butter Bean Mushroom Salad



1/2 sm bag of dry large white Lima/Butter beans (I'd say you could use 2 cans as well)
1 large pck of Mushrooms - slice
6 pc Green Onions
1 c chopped parsley or cilantro
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 c olive or flax seed oil
1 Lemon - juiced

Soak the beans over night and cook al dente. Those type of beans overcook easily as I learned the hard way. 40 minutes might be enough. Watch it closely.
Slice the mushrooms and slightly saute for about 3-4 minutes.

Chop the green onions and parsley. Put in a large bowl and mix with all remaining ingredients together.
Drizzle with the oil and lemon juice
 
We eat it warm. Great with warm whole grain pitta bread. Enjoy :-)
