Tri-Bean Summer Salad
Author: 
Recipe type: Salad
 
Ingredients
  • 1 15 oz can of Trader Joe's Marinated Bean Salad (kidney beans, garbanzo beans, pinto beans)
  • Chopped fresh basil, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 Chopped vine-ripened tomato
  • Splash of balsamic vinaigrette
  • Fresh parmigiano reggiano shavings
  • Dash of fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Chop basil lengthwise and cube tomato. I only used one tomato but if you love fresh tomatoes (which I don't, I prefer them cooked) by all means add more tomatoes!
  2. In a medium bowl, add one can of Trader Joe's marinated bean salad (don't drain this) and gently toss with fresh basil and tomatoes. Add only as much of the marinade into your salad as you want.
  3. Add splash of balsamic vinaigrette, and a dash of black pepper.
  4. Top salad with fresh parmigiano reggiano shavings.
