A refreshing, light salad for any hot summer day! The kidney beans and tofu make it a great vegetarian main, as well. The basil may be substituted with fresh parsley or mint. Be sure to make this salad just before serving.

ingredients

  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1 cucumber, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (400g) tin kidney beans, drained
  • 100g (4 oz) firm tofu, diced
  • handful chopped fresh basil
  • 4 tablespoons salad dressing of choice
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

preparation method

  1.   In a large bowl, combine the tomato, cucumber, red onion, kidney beans, tofu and basil. Just before serving, toss with salad dressing, and season with salt and pepper.

Note:

This is perfect with a simple balsamic vinaigrette.

    I added Feta instead of tofu and loved it! I can't wait for my garden to get going and use this all summer! Great recipe to take for family picnics!
