I like beans, peppers, onions and eggs but for some reason eating those items in a salad doesn't thrill me. But you never know what you like or dislike until you try it once and I don't like the idea of missing out on anything.

1/3 c extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp honey mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 15-oz can black beans, drained, rinsed
1 15-oz can cannellini beans, drained, rinsed
1/2 c chopped yellow bell pepper
1/3 c extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp honey mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 15-oz can black beans, drained, rinsed
1 15-oz can cannellini beans, drained, rinsed
1/2 c chopped yellow bell pepper
1/2 c thinly sliced sweet onion
1/4 c chopped fresh Italian parsley
5 hard-cooked eggs, coarsely chopped
Whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper in small bowl until blended.

Give dressing a quick whisk and pour half-cup of dressing over bean mixture; gently toss to coat. Add additional dressing as necessary.
I found a half-cup of dressing to be enough and even a little toward the too much side.
Very simple to prepare, mincing the garlic was the hardest part. One thing I would recommend is to allow time for the flavors to blend as I found that the salad was significantly better the second day as the most intense flavor immediately after preparation is the olive oil. Be sure to pick a good one!
The original recipe specified two pepper colors and suggested serving the salad on a lettuce leaf, which would make a very pretty presentation.
Cost:
- extra virgin olive oil: $0.57
- black beans: $0.70
- cannellini beans: $0.50
- yellow bell pepper: $1.20
- sweet onion: $0.40
- Italian parsley: $0.49
- eggs: $1.25
Total: $5.11 or $0.64 for each of eight 3/4 cup servings.

Amazing salad recipe. Seems inexpensive, healthy and delicious. Will try it.
Let me know how it turns out. I'm also interested in knowing if you find the salad is better the second day!
