White Bean and Roasted Chicken Salad

An all-time great no-cook summer dinner. Leave out the chicken and it's vegan/veggie friendly.



INGREDIENTS

  • Salad:
  • 2  cups  coarsely chopped skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken
  • 1  cup  chopped tomato
  • 1/2  cup  thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/3  cup  sliced fresh basil
  • 2  (16-ounce) cans cannellini beans or other white beans, rinsed and drained

  • Dressing:
  • 1/4  cup  red wine vinegar
  • 2  tablespoons  extravirgin olive oil
  • 1  tablespoon  fresh lemon juice
  • 2  teaspoons  Dijon mustard
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 2  garlic cloves, minced
To prepare salad, place first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; stir gently to combine.
