The High Five
- 2 15-ounce cans white beans, drained

- 1 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
- 1 1/2 cups jarred roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
- 6 tablespoons prepared balsamic vinaigrette

Serving Suggestion
This heartier version of a traditional Caprese salad is delicious served with sliced baguette that has been toasted and rubbed with olive oil and garlic. Serve a scoop of the salad over a bed of mixed greens or wrap into a tortilla for lunch.
