CHERRY TOMATO AND WHITE BEAN SALAD



Cherry Tomato and White Bean Salad image

This simple salad makes a bright, tangy companion to grilled meat or fish. Marinating the red onions and garlic in the vinaigrette for 15 minutes not only diffuses their flavor but also softens their bite. This salad travels well and would be an excellent choice for a potluck or picnic. It's also supremely versatile, and can be dressed up with any soft herb like basil, tarragon or mint, and chile, in almost any form.

MOOSEWOOD WHITE BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD



Moosewood White Bean and Tomato Salad image

This is one of my favorite Moosewood recipes, and it is so easy! My toddler even loves this recipe. This cold salad is perfect during the hot summer months, and goes great with meals that are cooked on the grill. I find that adding 1 T red wine vinegar makes it absolutely perfect. Moosewood categorizes this recipe as a "Main dish salad" but I prefer it as a side dish. I always omit the celery because it is the one vegetable that I do not like.
