Cold Bean and Artichoke Salad

This is a great dish to bring to a new Mom to ensure that she eats well during the postpartum period. It's highly nutritious, keeps well in the fridge for a few days and can be served warm or cold.

In a large bowl, whisk together:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
(you can also use 3/4 c. Italian dressing instead)
1/2 tsp. diced garlic
1/2 tsp. sea salt

Then add:
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
1 can diced Italian tomatoes
1 can green beans, drained
1 can quartered artichoke hearts, chopped

Mix together and chill for several hours to let flavors combine.
