Italian Bean & Tomato Salad

This is a great summer recipe for a bean salad, and it is super easy to make! It is always a crowd favorite, and usually the entire dish is eaten. I also like to add a chopped green or red pepper to add extra flavor!

What you will need:
2 cans (15oz each) white beans, rinsed
2 cups cut fresh green beans
6 plum tomatoes (1lb), chopped
½ cup light Italian dressing
2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Combine beans, tomatoes & dressing. Refrigerate one hour. Top with basil & cheese before serving.

Servings: 6, 1 cup servings.
