Here's a three-bean salad with fresh veggies tossed in a red wine vinaigrette with herbs and seasonings. Prep time is quick, then chill before serving. With a loaf of crusty bread, this salad is a meal in itself. Instead of sunflower seeds, you can top with slivered almonds or shredded cheese.

Tender white beans and artichoke hearts get a refreshing lift from sweet bell peppers, crisp red onions, olives, parsley, mint and basil. A simple dressing of olive oil and wine vinegar - and an overnight stay in the fridge - bring the flavors to life.
