White Bean Salad

Bean salad is one of my favorite summer staples. It's a super easy dish you can make ahead of time for a cookout or party. It's also great having it in the refrigerator to throw on some greens for a hearty and satisfying lunch. This white bean salad with shallots is mild but delicious and can complement a wide variety of dishes.

Instructions

Start by making the dressing. In a large bowl combine the rice wine vinegar, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, fresh thyme, and fresh oregano.
Add the shallot, garlic, and scallions and mix into the dressing.
After opening the beans place them in a colander to drain and rinse the beans thoroughly with cold water.
Chop the bell pepper into small pieces and add the beans and pepper to the dressing, mixing thoroughly.
You can serve immediately if you're in a pinch, but I swear this dish gets better with time.
