ROASTED CHICKEN AND CANNELLINI BEAN SALAD
This is a wonderfully refreshing and flavorful salad. Add some crusty bread, or fresh pita and this makes a great light meal. I adapted this from a Cooking Light recipe. The flavors are even better after the salad has sat in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. If you decide to make this ahead of time, do not add the fresh mint and basil until just before serving.

CHORIZO, TOMATO AND CANNELLINI BEAN SALAD

Steps:
- Put the tomatoes in a mixing bowl with the scallions and drained cannellini beans.
- Season with sea salt and a little freshly ground black pepper; then drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil and the vinegar and mix to combine.
- Heat a frying pan (without any oil - chorizo simply does not need it) and add the chorizo.
- Cook gently for a couple of minutes on each side. The chorizo will secrete a lot of oil. Do not throw it away! It is delicious if you want to fry a few potatoes in it. Or, add some of the oil to the salad!
- To serve; transfer the tomato, bean and onion mixture to a serving dish and top with the hot chorizo. Scatter over the chopped parsley and serve at once.
