Tuscans take great pride in cooking and eating and are known for their hefty appetites. Beans appear frequently in many guises in their cooking, as they are filling and form a substantial meal. This Tuscan inspired salad is a combination of beans in an oregano tomato dressing which makes a quick and tasty salad. The beans need to be soaked overnight and pressure cooked separately till they are soft. The ketchup used in the dressing lends a sweet and concentrated tomato flavour, which blends beautifully in the salad.

Wholesome and healthy. A perfect protein filled salad which would be ideal for kids too to pick up and eat.Its important that you toss the salad well . I made it for a party and it was a great hit as guests prefer light salads than the creamy dressings.
