Hummus is made from chickpeas which are, like beans, a legume. Therefore, Hummus with Pita falls under the "Beans on Toast" family of foods. (So do PBJs by the way)

Whatever the case here, we can safely conclude that all of the aforementioned are, in fact, salads

I... I read it all. It's beautiful.

I have, actually, read it 2 or 3 times by now. It has truly changed my life. For example, my GP now does not lecture me on my diet choices, because I can, honestly, tell them that I, mostly, eat different salads. I can feel my cholesterol dropping.

You put six commas in a single sentence. That's a lot of commas.

Peanut is a legume but it's most certainly not a kind of bean...

Beans are legumes.

It just depends on if all legumes are beans. I'd say no.
