Lovely Margi, I am a huge fan of quinoa. This reminds me of Tabbouleh, traditionally made with bulgar wheat, however I can't eat that so I have quinoa. Not familiar with alubia beans though?

And I simply adore quails eggs. Often have them as a nibble, just boiled, peeled and dipped in celery salt. Fab.
 
That sounds so cool and refreshing, Margi. Love tabouli salads - I'm not familiar with alubia beans either, will have to look them up. Thank you for sharing this!
 
Gravy Queen and Cheryl,

Alubia : this is a small tiny legume which grows in Northern Spain ... They are available in red, white, or pinto color ... They are the size of a Northern Navy Bean ...

Ladies, please use any Red or White Bean that you enjoy.

Thanks for compliment, and I shall try to post a photo tomorrow before I leave for Puglia on Friday.

Kindest regards,
Ciao, Margi.
