Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    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.
  • tip 2
    Whole-grain rolls along with iced tea or hot herbal tea are great accompaniments to this versatile salad.
