Directions
Step: 1	Rinse beans and boil for 20 minutes.
Step: 2	Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions.
Step: 3	Drain pasta and beans, and allow to cool.
Step: 4	Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix thoroughly. Serve chilled.
Menu suggestion
	Cool Summer Work Lunch Pasta and Dried Bean Salad Melon chunks Whole grain crackers. Beverage Place a few leaves of lettuce on the bottom of a plastic container. Spoon the salad over the lettuce and seal with the lid. I love the Ziplock containers, so many sizes!. Pack melon in a smaller container (make sure these all fit in your lunch box). Use a snack sized baggie for the crackers, add a fork and napkin, a frozen drink or an ice for lunch box's.
