Easy Tomato Basil White Bean Salad Recipes

TOMATO BASIL WHITE BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl add the tomatoes, beans, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Toss everything gently together.
• Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Pour the dressing over the salad (I only used half the dressing and saved the rest for other uses) and gently fold everything together. Serve immediately or refrigerate until you are ready to serve. I found that the flavor of the basil intensifies and the flavors come together more as it rests in the fridge. This salad is also just as good the next day.
