White Bean & Herb Salad

I stayed at my friend's house over the weekend and I couldn't be bothered to leave the house and run to the grocery store. While digging through her cabinets I found a can of cannellini beans. I started to make some white beans soup, but then I decided I would try to recreate a bean salad someone made me a few years ago. This is my take on a white bean and herb salad made by my friend Anna.

Ingredients:

15oz can cannellini or great northern beans, rinsed and drained

1/4c red onion, minced (can use 1 shallot instead)

1/4 carrot, finely chopped (optional)

1/4c feta

1t oregano, minced

1t thyme, minced

1T parsley, minced

1T white wine vinegar

1/4c olive oil

1t lemon juice

tt salt

tt pepper

Method:

Mix together beans, onion, carrot, feta, and herbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour over salad and gently mix. Chill for about 30 minutes before serving. Serve alone or with a warm baguette.
