Method

Drain tomatoes, reserving 1/4 cup oil. Place reserved oil in a small mixing bowl. Chop tomatoes and place in a large mixing bowl. Add parsley, basil, oregano, all beans and red onion to a large mixing bowl. Mix well, but gently. To small mixing bowl with oil, add vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard and pepper. Whisk until well blended. Drizzle over bean mixture and toss gently to mix. Cover and chill 2 hours to marry flavors.

 

Notes: I can't think of a tastier way to eat your fiber. The flavor is terrific and is so healthy for everyone.
