One of the first cookery things I “invented” when I had my first apartment and my first own stove on which to play was a cold white bean and rice thing for spreading on heavy, dark bread. I haven’t made it in years now. I wonder why? More or less, it was cooked white beans and cooked white rice combined after cooling. Add some olive oil, some vinegar, and a little lemon juice. Mess it all around with some fresh parsley if available, some cayenne (not much), some salt as pleases, a little of that “fines herbes” blend if you like, and a very little curry powder. The bolder the curry blend the better in my opinion, but not a lot of it. Let it rest in the fridge a few hours, for the flavors to come together. As you can see, this recipe is pretty scant in terms of quantities. I always made it “to taste,” so it was often an irreproducible result. I was so pleased with myself, though, for having created something on my own, in my very own kitchen where I could make all and any errors or successes I pleased.

Maybe I should go put some beans to soak…

Oh my! That actually sounds like one of the most stressful things ever! Good luck and make your way up!
To be honest, the prospect of bean salad has never been that exciting to me (I’ve never even had one!), but I am loving this version of yours with the mozza and the artichokes– lovely!
