White Bean and Roasted Chicken Salad image

Cannellini beans, or white kidney beans, are smaller than Great Northern beans and add just the right texture. Great for picnics or lazy-day suppers, this salad stirs together in a flash. This a wonderful no cook dinner. Came out of Cooking Light. I always add some extra veggies.
