I made up this salad to use up left over odds & ends in the fridge. It turned out to my favorite salad of all time & everyone I've served it to says its their favorite too (vegans and non-vegans). Its very filling... a meal by itself. Chopped or gem tomatoes are a great addition... I just don't use them as I am (strangely) not a tomato fan...! Before I went full vegan, I would use feta cheese instead of the white beans....great if you are a flirt or a lacto-vegetarian.
