If you're looking for an extremely healthy, super fast side dish, here you go. This cannellini bean salad is great served cold or at room temperature. It can be served as a side dish for chicken or fish, or with canned tuna added to up the protein content. You can substitute fresh herbs for fresh. I added basil along with oregano to this batch.
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 T. red wine vinegar
1 T. minced red onion
3/4 t. dried oregano (if using fresh herbs, add 2 - 3 T.)
1 seedless cucumber, diced
1 15 oz. Cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 red bell pepper, diced
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Whisk together oil, vinegar, onion, and oregano in a large mixing bowl.
Add cucumbers, beans, and bell pepper. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
