Roasted Chicken and Cannellini Bean Salad image

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.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken in the fridge, and I threw it together with some cannellini beans and vegetables. It was a delicious and easy meal.
