WHITE BEAN SALAD REMAINING INGREDIENTS 4 SERVINGS DAIRY-FREE Keep a package of prepared polenta on hand so you can put together this speedy warm weather entree at a moment's notice.

Dice tomatoes and set aside. Add vinegar, 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper to juices in bowl and mix to blend. Add diced tomatoes, beans, scallions, basil and olives; toss well.
