What is Barbunya Piyaz?
Barbunya Piyaz is a Turkish bean salad made with cooked borlotti beans—also known as cranberry beans—typically tossed with red onion, parsley and tomato. Olive oil and lemon give it a simple, bright dressing. The beans are cooked until tender, then cooled before mixing so they hold their shape.
Expect a soft, creamy bite from the beans, balanced by crisp onion and fresh citrus. In Turkey it is served as a meze or a side salad, often alongside grilled dishes; with bread, it can also make a satisfying light meal. It offers plant protein and fibre, with 6.7 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter dressing, use a little less oil and add extra lemon and herbs.
