· 1 cup cut beans

· 1 cup chopped tomato

Ingredients for Dressing

Method

Boil rice with excess water and drain when the rice is cooked. Rinse the drained rice with cold water.
Boil the beans for 4-5 minutes and drain. Keep aside to cool.
To make the dressing, squeeze a lime into a mix of olive oil, sugar, salt and pepper.
Mix the dressing well and let it rest for the sugar to dissolve.
