White Bean, Red Onion, Tomato and Oregano Salad

I've been carrying around a photo copy of this recipe for White Bean salad for nearly 17 years.  A co-worker at The Morton Arboretum brought it to my baby shower for Anna.  I loved it!  I still do.  It's fresh and unique.  Use tomatoes and oregano from your garden for this one!

White Bean, Red Onion, Tomato and Oregano Salad

2 cups cooked white beans (like cannellini)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
sea salt and pepper to taste
2 large, firm ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
2 Tbsp fresh oregano leaves, cut into thin strips (or 2 tsp dried oregano leaves, crumbled)

Drain the beans of any liquid and place in a small bowl.  Season them with olive oil, salt and pepper.  Then toss with the tomatoes, red onion, and oregano.  Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
