"A super-quick, simple, and healthy side dish that can be thrown together at the last minute with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. I sometimes like to also add a clove of minced garlic. From Cooking Light."

Sometimes I like rosemary and sometimes I don't but this salad is GREAT!! and it uses my new favorite bean, the cannellini bean. Like someone else I liked it after it had set a while and I liked it cold a whole lot. we had this as a side to grilled burgers and brats but I think this is going to be a good lunch box salad also.

This recipe is delicious. I added diced chicken breast, and it was a delicious one dish meal. Very satisfying- I look forward to making it again!

I liked this but alas, not enough to do it again. Very easy to put together and I do love beans and tomatoes (which is what prompted me to try this recipe), but I didn't care for the end result. ( (The above comments were my original review but I would like to add that I came accross the leftovers a couple of days later and found that they were much tastier after being in the fridge for a couple of days. Also I liked it much more served cold, rather than hot.

This was a wonderful side dish. It's great because it's made with ingredients that we always have. Thanks for posting!

This one gets a five for both flavor and ease of preparation. Didn't have a can of stewed tomatoes, so I just used a can of regular tomatoes and added finely minced onion & green pepper. Very hearty and warming and could not be easier to throw together. Thank you Gayla J for sharing the recipe.
