EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Cannellini beans are creamy white and slightly smaller than great northern beans. Their roots are in South America, but they are very popular in Italian cuisine.

Whole-grain rolls along with iced tea or hot herbal tea are great accompaniments to this versatile salad.

For those nights when you want a light dinner, but still something warm in your tummy...this is it. Very easy to whip up in no time and packed with lots of protein, fiber, vitamins and more! Great flavor! I also added extra vegies such as zucchini, carrots, etc. Great recipe...will make again!
