->Bean 10 <-

16 oz (453 g.) can Great Northern Beans

1 medium red onion, chopped

8 cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered

1 t (5 ml) lemon juice

1/4 c (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil

Open the can of beans. Pour the beans into a colander over the

sink and rinse them with cold water. Small bubbles appear. Rinse

the beans until the bubbles disappear. Add the chopped onions to

the beans. The onions shouldn't be chopped finely but should be

bite-sized. Add the cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Add the lemon

juice. You can add more or less lemon juice, depending on your

taste. With a large spoon, mix the items in the bowl. Use a

folding motion to mix the items. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill it for at least 15 minutes. Before serving the bean

salad, fold in the olive oil. You can add a little salt to the

salad as per your taste.
