Featured recipe from Marilu's table * White bean salad

We love this salad served in pepper cups. Wash three bell peppers (we like using different colors), slice them in half vertically, then remove the ribs and seeds, keeping the halves intact. Fill each pepper half with a scoop of white bean salad.
