This hearty bean salad is ideal year round. It comes together in less than an hour with only 15 minutes of active prep time. Serve just off the stove, warm and comforting on a cold evening or chill and take to lunch for a filling and cool meal. Stir in shredded roasted chicken for a heavier meal or serve over mixed greens for something lighter. No matter how you serve it, this Mediterranean dish will strike a positive response from anyone at your table.
