White Bean Caprese Salad
Description
The White Bean Caprese Salad features great northern or white kidney beans as the base, paired with sweet cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cut into cubes.

A drizzle of olive oil and a finishing touch of balsamic glaze bring acidity and richness to the salad.
