Cannellini Bean Salad image

This came from my South Beach Diet newsletter, Daily Dish. It is perfect for Phase 1 dieters but of course good for anyone. This quick, easy bean salad is great cold or at room temperature, making it a good take-along dish for work or a potluck. Serve it as a side with grilled chicken or fish. You can substitute 2 or 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs for dried oregano or try dried basil instead if you wish.I used garbanzo beans since I didn't have cannellini and it is awesome. Enjoy!

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweetness of the corn, the creaminess of the beans, and the tanginess of the dressing all come together perfectly.

I'm not a big fan of cannellini beans, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing was so good that it made me forget all about the beans.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cannellini beans. It's also very versatile - I added some chopped red onion and a handful of chopped parsley, and it was delicious.
