STANDARD CROATIAN MIXED SALAD
This is usual mixed summer salad you can get almost in every Croatian household or restaurant. The importance is in wine vinegar (not aceto balsamico), and it must be cooled. I do not know the reason, but vinegar does not make you thirsty during hot summer days, so it is very important ingredient.

CROATIAN SIMPLE FRENCH BEANS SALAD
This is very simple salad where you use cooked French beans. You can use flat or round bean or green or yellow one, the procedure is the same. I do not use olive oil and only vinegar (not acceto balsamico). I also use honey vinegar (I have a friend who is in bee-honey business and he produces that honey vinegar. It is extremely healthy and excellent taste; you can drink it with water alone.)

NORTH CROATIAN SIMPLE BEANS SALAD
It is very simple recipe. You may keep the salad up to 3 days in hermetically closed pot in refrigerator (The second day is the best). You can use almost all kinds of beans, even Italian brown lentils. I did not include soaking time in this recipe. We use pumpkin oil for this recipe, but since it has strong and peculiar taste it may be strange for non-Croatians. You may use normal oil, but not olive oil.
