White Bean and Tomato Salad

By á-30065

Great side dish for Mediterranean Chicken.

Ingredients

• Optional ingredients:
• 1 can of Cannellini, Navy or Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 beautiful tomatoes, diced (or canned, diced)
• 2 T. olive oil
• 1 t. lemon juice
• 2 t. white wine vinegar (I use red)
• 1 t. minced garlic or shallot
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Slivers of fresh basil leaves or a little chopped fresh parsley
• A little grated Parmesan
• A little feta cheese (my favorite)

Preparation

Step 1

Gently mix the beans and tomatoes together in a medium sized bowl. Stir together the next four ingredients in a small jar or bowl, then pour over tomatoes and beans. Mix gently and let sit for five minutes. Add salt and black pepper, then taste; if your beans do not have much salt you may find it needs more.
