Cannellini Bean Salad image

This came from my South Beach Diet newsletter, Daily Dish. It is perfect for Phase 1 dieters but of course good for anyone. This quick, easy bean salad is great cold or at room temperature, making it a good take-along dish for work or a potluck. Serve it as a side with grilled chicken or fish. You can substitute 2 or 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs for dried oregano or try dried basil instead if you wish.I used garbanzo beans since I didn't have cannellini and it is awesome. Enjoy!
