A Great Antioxidant Recipe - Red Bean Salad

First, a quick quiz. (Did you pay attention to the previous posts?) It's only one question, so don't panic. Ready? The most antioxidant-rich food is . . . what?

If you said "red beans," congratulations! You're absolutely right. And here's your reward, a wonderful recipe from Rachael Ray, from the Food Network website.

Red Bean Salad

2 (15-ounce) cans dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained well
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
3 scallions, chopped, whites and greens
1 rib celery, chopped
1/4 cup (a couple of handfuls) chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 cup sweet red pepper relish
2 tablespoons (2 turns around the bowl in a thin stream) light olive oil or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon (2 splashes) white distilled vinegar
Coarse salt and pepper

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and toss well; adjust seasonings.
