MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD

Mediterranean Bean Salad image

I was on Ediets a few years ago and this was the first recipe that I tried. It is delicious and healthy. When my husband and I sat down to our first Ediet meal,we did not know what to expect. What a great surprise and certainly made the diet easy to follow! It has great presentation and does not look nor taste like diet food. Great for vegetarians! Hope you enjoy!
