Roasted Chicken and Cannellini Bean Salad image

This is a wonderfully refreshing and flavorful salad. Add some crusty bread, or fresh pita and this makes a great light meal. I adapted this from a Cooking Light recipe. The flavors are even better after the salad has sat in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. If you decide to make this ahead of time, do not add the fresh mint and basil until just before serving.
