Notes

⅓ cup finely chopped parsley is about 1 cup lightly packed parsley leaves.
Persian cucumbers are the little ones! You can also use ⅓ of an English cucumber, but you should slice it in half lengthwise, before thinly slicing it crosswise.
If your galic clove is large, only use half of it! It is easy to over power all of the other flavors in this salad with the garlic.
Butter beans are delicate, so toss the salad together gently with a spoon so they don't break apart too much.
