A quick snack

I threw this together on Saturday afternoon for a quick snack and it turned out really good - better than I had expected. I first opened a can of cannelini beans, drained them and rinsed them. I threw them in a bowl and added some chopped, pitted kalamata olives and a chiffonade of basil. I let that sit while I whipped up a quick dressing. I put about a tablespoon of dijon mustard in a small bowl and added some red wine vinegar. I combined that well with a whisk then drizzled in some extra virgin olive oil until the dressing reached the right flavor and wasn't too acidic. Add a bit of salt and pepper and drizzle the dressing over the beans. Nice and fresh - goes great with a glass of wine and the latest of edition of Food and Wine magazine.
