Ingredients:
1 pkg (500g) Green Giant* VALLEY SELECTIONS* Frozen Bean and Carrot Medley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (250 mL) diagonally sliced celery
1/2 cup (125 mL) coarsely chopped red pepper
1 can (540 mL) chick peas or black beans, rinsed, drained
1/4 cup (50 mL) balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil
1 1/2 tsp (6 mL) Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each, salt and pepper
1 can (170 g) water-packed solid white tuna, drained
1/4 lb (125 g) bocconcini or feta cheese

Tip: When mincing garlic, try sprinkling a touch of salt over top of clove. The combination of garlic and salt acts as a paste, creating a lovely smooth texture without any bits or pieces remaining.
