WARM WHITE BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and carrots; cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic; cook, stirring, until pepper is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in beans, lemon zest, and 1 cup water, and season with salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cover, and cook until beans have absorbed most of the liquid, about 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice; season again with salt and pepper.
