Cannellini Bean Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

One of the things I like most about summer meals are the endless salads one can serve. This one is fairly substantial, both in texture and flavor. The cannellini beans are hearty and the sun-dried tomato pesto packs a punch. You’ll have leftover sun-dried tomato pesto so plan to freeze it for later (it’s delicious on pasta or slathered on crostini).
