White Bean Salad

Ingredients

• 1 (19-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (use any canned bean you like)
• 1 large rib celery, thinly sliced
• 1/2 roasted red pepper, peeled, seeded, and chopped
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• Coarse grained salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup basil leaves, hand torn

Directions

Place beans, celery, red pepper, vinegar, and oil in a medium bowl. Toss until well combined. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Add basil and serve immediately.

Morph: For a super quick white bean dip: puree the salad in a food processor or blender, add 1 or 2 dashes of hot sauce and serve on crackers or grilled bread.
