EASY MEDITERRANEAN BEAN SALAD
Easy three bean salad recipe packed with Mediterranean flavors from fresh herbs, capers, and a zesty Dijon garlic vinaigrette. Instead of mushy canned green beans, use fresh steamed ones, or swap them out for another type of bean. I chose to use cannellini beans! After dressing the bean salad, allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, so that the beans can absorb the zippy dressing.

MARINATED VEGETABLE AND BEAN SALAD
This recipe was inpired by a salad dressing recipe that I made for 1-2-3 Hits Tag, recipe #372633 - I tagged the dressing, but had no lettuce, so I came up with a salad to go with it. It turned out fantastic, so I'm posting it here. Cook time does not include overnight marinade time. Yes, it makes alot, but it's easily scaled down. Note that for easier measuring, 4 tbsp = 1/4 cup.

An added advantage is the fact you make it the day before - one less thing to worry about if you're entertaining or need to bring a "dish to pass" somewhere.

One of my all-time favorite side dishes, this marinated medley is well-received whenever I serve it - which is often. It's wonderful with turkey, but also pleasant with just about any main dish you can think of. -Ruby Williams, Bogalusa, Louisiana

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: Fresh vegetables are always best in salads. When they're in season, they're at their peak of flavor and nutrition.

- Use a variety of colors and textures: A salad that's full of different colors and textures is more visually appealing and interesting to eat.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to making a salad. Feel free to add or omit ingredients to suit your own taste.
