White Bean Salad with Roasted Red Pepper Dressing
Serves 4 to 6
Time 15 min
Canned beans are a quick, no-cook protein option that readily absorbs the flavors of fresh herbs and roasted red peppers. Roast your own peppers or look for them in jars on grocery shelves near olives and pickles. Serve this hearty salad with whole wheat crackers, if desired.

Method
