Cherry Tomato and White Bean Salad image

This simple salad makes a bright, tangy companion to grilled meat or fish. Marinating the red onions and garlic in the vinaigrette for 15 minutes not only diffuses their flavor but also softens their bite. This salad travels well and would be an excellent choice for a potluck or picnic. It's also supremely versatile, and can be dressed up with any soft herb like basil, tarragon or mint, and chile, in almost any form.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken or fish. It's also a great make-ahead salad - just store it in the refrigerator and it will be ready to eat when you are.

I'm not a huge fan of white beans, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so flavorful and the tomatoes and red onion add a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this salad again.
