  3. Top with sliced cabbage and chopped dill. Serve immediately.
  4. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.

Notes:

If you choose to cook your own beans, rinse 1 cup dried beans and cover with about 2 inches of water. Let sit overnight.

The next day, rinse beans and cover with fresh water. Again, about 2 inches above beans. Cook for 45 minutes and check for doneness. You can cook them a little longer for softer beans.
