Quick White bean Salad

I love this one. It's quick and tasty and great to bring for gatherings with friends.

2 cans white beans
1 can corn
1/2 jar roasted red bell peppers
3 tbsp Red wine vinegar
5 olive oil (I half it with flax seed oil for some omega 3s)
Salt & Pepper to taste but optional

You can sprinkle some fresh or dry cilantro or parsley or whatever ... your choice :-)

Rince all the beans and corn in a colander with cold water to get the slime off.
Put all the liquids in the salad bowl and whisk it together. Fork will work just fine. Add the beans and herbs and toss together. Refrigerate and enjoy!
