I really liked this salad. And hearty, and spicy, and the combination is excellent. If red beans are good with corn, coriander and red onion, then white beans are good with celery, mushrooms and olives, you can add white chicken meat.
The salad is prepared very quickly, simply, but it has an amazing combination of dried tomatoes, mozzarella and seeds! I eat it when I’m on a diet and not only! Satisfying and not so high in calories!
