    I really love the salad but I'm not a big fan of the dressing. I still make it for everyone else because they seem to like it but I usually just use a store bought dressing for myself. Although I like white and red beans in salad, I typically serve this salad after a meal so to cut down on the heaviness the beans bring I substitute them with palm hearts and artichoke hearts. Comes out absolutely delicious. My mom always wants me to make this for family gatherings.

    Great, quick and easy recipe.
    I added a handful of sliced pepperoncinis, a diced Serrano pepper, 1/2 a cucumber to cool some of the heat, and artichoke hearts. Depending on how much artichoke you like you might want to ease off that salt shaker a bit. If your looking looking to compliment the dish with a lean protein, a lemon marinaded chicken or salmon is perfect.

    Marinade
    1/2 a lemon's juice
    1/2 cup EVOO
    2 big garlic cloves (diced
    Sea salt
    Ground pepper
    All in a bag, shake your chicken up real well and throw it in the fridge for 30 mins.

    Tasty? What did you thiDelicious and nice spin on a salad. I used chorizo instead for the meat and cooked it and then refrigerated it to keep with the cold salad. It was ravishing. Also, I used more honey in the dressing so it would not be too bitter. I also used shredded cheese instead.nk?
