Cannellini Bean Tomato Salad Recipe

1 point

This impressive, tasty cannellini bean tomato salad recipe is the beginning of something amazing! I have been making this for years. The entire salad is one Weight Watchers point.

I followed the Mediterranean way of eating several years ago for a few years. And I loved the foods, but I wasn’t losing any weight, because it really is not a “diet.” I still make quite a few of the recipes, because it really involves mostly vegetables, beans, seafood, whole grains, healthy fats, etc.

Use it as a side fish, or eat it as a snack on toast with a little bit of Parmesan cheese on top. I take it for lunches, along with a can of kippered herring and plenty of fibrous fresh fruit.

It’s cannellini beans, fresh garlic, grape tomatoes, assorted spices and herbs and a good drizzle of olive oil. I bake it, until everything softens. You can eat it warm or cold.
