This main dish salad is perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Dill, quinoa, and Parmesan cheese are optional. I make the salad without these, then add them to change things up a bit when we eat the leftovers. Serve by itself or over lettuce.

I saw this on Nigella Bites last night and made it for lunch today. We had it with crusty olive bread, but it would be nice as part of a buffet or picnic or as a potluck dish. It's very quick and easy to make, healthy and quite tasty. I used one can of beans, vine-ripened tomatoes, and everything else as listed in the recipe.
