Midnight Snack? Lunch? Cannellini Bean Salad with Tomato and Basil

Tuesday, August 3, 2010

I ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich post run today...a little while later, I was a still hungry. It seems over the long weekend we were away, our (2) tomato plants have since departed us. They left about 10 tomato though, so I wanted to get rid of them. (geez, that sounds like I'm aborting them) I grabbed some basil from the pot, a can of cannellini beans, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and some really good extra virgin olive oil, S&P.  It made enough for a snack and for lunch tomorrow...

I get crap (via rude emails from perfect blog strangers) all the time because I don't list recipes...I guess the 'exact' recipe would be...

1 14oz can of cannellini beans, rinsed
1 cup chopped tomato
...as much basil as you see in the picture? or more...or less...you decide.
~1-2Tbs Extra-virgin olive oil
~1Tbs balsamic vinegar
S&P to taste

Or, more of less of any of the above....to taste, of course..if you have poopy offseason tomatoes, don't bother, use something else in season.
