Ingredients

  • 1 15-19 ounce can cannellini beans (white kidney beans), rinsed and drained

  • 2 small green sweet peppers, seeded and cut into bite-size chunks (1-1/2 cups)

  • 1 medium cucumber, cut into bite-size chunks (3 cups)

  • ½ head radicchio or 1/4 head red cabbage, coarsely chopped (2 cups)

  • ½ 16 ounce package radishes, halved or quartered (1-1/2 cups)

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • Honey (1 Tbsp.)

  • Coarse Salt (1/2 tsp.)

  • Cracked black pepper (1/4 tsp.)

  • 8 ounce feta cheese, cubed

  • Coarsely chopped fresh Italian parsley and/or mint

Directions

  1. Place beans, sweet peppers, cucumber, radicchio, and radishes in separate self-sealing plastic bags. For dressing, in a screw-top jar combine oil and lemon juice. Cover and shake well. Add honey, salt, and cracked pepper to taste, covering and shaking well after each addition. Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons dressing into each bag. Seal bags. Chill 2 to 4 hours, turning bags occasionally (beans, green peppers, and cucumber may be chilled up to 24 hours).

  2. To serve, arrange vegetables and dressing along with feta cheese in strips on a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and/or mint. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
