High-Protein White Bean Salad

This is a traditional Bosnian salad, I used to enjoy it as a kid on hot summer days, because it's served chilled. As an adult now, I've upped the nutritional value by adding organic hemp hearts, which makes it a high-protein and quick to assemble, nutritious lunch salad. Serve it with rice and you have complete protein meal. Enjoy!
