White Bean Salad

I love a white bean salad with any meal.  It has such great color and is loaded with all the healthy things you and I need. You can use any white bean of your choice, garbanzo, cannelloni, or I used Great Northern Beans here. We're having it tonight as a side to my Turkey Stuffed Peppers.  Try it for a quick change from your regular salad.

White Bean Salad

1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 tablespoons sliced scallions
2 tablespoons halved green olives
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper

Mix the beans, tomatoes, parsley, scallions and olives together.  Season with garlic powder and salt and pepper according to your tastes.  Toss with the olive oil.  Add the vinegar and mix again.  Enjoy!

This makes about 2 cups of salad.  Very easily doubled.
