Tomato, Bean and Fried Basil Salad Recipe.  Infusing basil in hot oil brings out its wonderful, aromatic flavour, which works so well in almost any tomato dish. Various canned beans or chickpeas can be used instead of mixed beans in this simple dish, as they all taste good and make a wholesome salad to serve as an accompaniment or a satisfying snack with some warm, grainy bread.

    This looks so good. What kind of beans are used, dried like lentils and navy or green and waxed beans?

    Very healthy salad! I bet it’s rich in Lycopene since it has lots of tomatoes!
