This salad I made the other day

I was reading one of my brothers fitness magazines last week, because I enjoy fitness and healthy food just as much as I enjoy pie and chips. Inside its pages I came across a recipe for a salad with Feta cheese in it... I freakin' love cheese, and Feta is one of my favourites. It tastes so good. 
So when I see any cheese in any recipe I stop and take note.

I made this salad the next day, from what I could remember of the recipe. It tasted very nice, and I presume it was good for me. Except for the bacon. What I've done, instead of listing the ingredients, is just highlighted them. If you need them in a list you should just write them down yourself.

Get some green beans, like a big handful of them, and a carrot. Slice the carrot up, and throw it, along with the the green beans into a pot of simmering water for 2-3 minutes, then drain them and put them in a bowl.  

Get a tin of mixed beans, or kidney beans, or any of those nice beans that mexicans eat. I used a mixed bean salad from tescos, it did the job just fine. Make sure they're cooked though, I think all the tinned ones are but I'm no expert. Drain and rinse them, and put them in the bowl also.

Chop up a red onion, lob that in the bowl too. And don't forget the Feta cheese! About half a block will do, like 100g maybe, but it depends on your own taste really.

Anyway, all that stuff is in your bowl, so mix it up with a nice big spoon.
Then drizzle a bit of olive oil over it, and squirt on a bit of lemon juice, I just used juice out of a bottle because I had no fresh lemons. You can give it another stir now if you like. There you go. Now eat up, yum yum.   

This wasn't in the recipe, but I fried up some pancetta and put that in the bowl too. I put bacon in most things that I make. I should stop, I know, but I can't.

I don't have any serving suggestions for this salad. I just ate it out of the bowl I made it in.

    I like to cook, and sure, sometimes I try making things that turn out really bad, but most times they turn out really tasty.
