During my travels in Italy, I was introduced to this tasty white bean salad. I have recreated this salad but with a slight personalized touch. I have roasted the zucchini and tomatoes first, adding even more, flavour to this spectacular white bean salad. The beans I used were made from scratch, by soaking them overnight and then cooking in salted water. You can use canned beans, as long as you rinse and drain them. If using canned beans, you may want to adjust the salt since most canned beans are already well salted
