Summer White Bean & Tomato Salad


Seems kind of silly to keep track of the recipe for something as simple as this, but hey, it's what I made today, so here it is.

Summer White Bean & Tomato Salad

1 15-oz can cannellini beans, rinsed very well and drained
3 small-to-medium tomatoes
4 green onions
4 leaves fresh basil
olive oil
red wine vinegar
black pepper

Cut the tomatoes into small wedges. Slice the white and light green parts of the green onions finely. Tear the basil into small pieces. In a large bowl, combine beans, tomatoes, onions and basil. Dress with about 1 tbsp olive oil and about 1 tsp vinegar. Season heavily with black pepper and salt if necessary.

Serves 1 for dinner or 2-3 as a side dish.
Could garnish with mozzarella or feta if you were looking for a heavier dish.
