http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/romaine_salad_with_orange_feta_beans.html
From EatingWell: March/April 2007, The EatingWell Diet (2007)Adding canned beans is a quick, convenient way to make a salad into a meal - they boost the protein to make the salad more satisfying. We call for kidney beans, but other canned beans like cannellinis or black beans would also work nicely.
