Ideas/recipes for a pot luck?

5. Butter Bean Salad

I think I got this recipe from Rachel Ray's website some years ago. Made it once for a pot luck and it was wonderful.

2 cans 15 oz each butter beans, rinsed and drained.
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin (about 1/3 palm full)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large lemon, juiced
Coarse salt (kosher) and freshly ground black pepper.

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Toss to coat beans and veggies evenly in dressing.

There's a 2003 copyright notice to the Television Food Network.

It's really good. Fresh tasting and slightly different because of the cumin. As I recall there were no leftovers.
