‘Plaki’ is an Armenian word that means ‘white beans’, and Jerusalem Armenians refer to this salad by that name. According to Shoshane Hagopian, you cannot have an Armenian meal worthy of the name without plaki. Rich and tangy, this dish is ubiquitous at Palestinian tables. I like to serve it with pot roast or grilled chicken.
